Role of the Intern during the Mentoring Time

• Need to take a proactive role in the mentoring
  relationship as well as in the mentoring
  meetings.
• Meetings serve as an avenue to process the
  experience of your leadership opportunities.
• Your responsibility is to ensure the meetings
  take place and that the experience is beneficial.
• Communication is essential! Communicate items
  that need to be on the agenda clearly to the
  Field Instructor.
