Young AFCEANs Find Mentors at Third Annual Event

The chapter's Young AFCEANs held their third annual Mentor Protege and Networking Night in November at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. With more than 100 people in attendance, this open forum event connected aspiring young professionals with military, civilian and industry senior leaders. The event opened with a panel discussion featuring five distinguished executives who offered personal insights and advice on a range of career progression topics, including higher education and training, the importance of networking and finding a mentor, and ways to stand out as a next-generation leader. Following the panel, attendees engaged with panelists and mentors in an informal networking break over refreshments. The event closed with the much-anticipated "speed mentoring," a breakout session that allowed young professionals the chance to interact with 13 senior executive leaders in a rotating, small-group format. Speed mentoring gave attendees the chance to ask their own individual questions, build one-on-one relationships and hopefully find a mentor within the APG/Aberdeen community.
