I am writing you today on behalf of my good friend, Matt Sapolin, New
York's Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for People with
Disabilities, to invite you to participate in Disability Mentoring Day
2008 (DMD) on
Wednesday, October 15th.
As you may already know, DMD gives people with varying degrees of
disability an opportunity to get a "foot in the door" in the
workplace; evaluate personal goals; target career skills for
improvement; explore career paths; and develop lasting mentor
relationships. In fact, nearly 100 prospective mentees have already
signed up for 2008. Many are college students who have expressed
interest in the following areas:
- Clerical/Customer Service;
- Communications (Writer, Event Planning, Public Affairs);
- Custodial/Maintenance;
- Finance (accounting, taxation, budget, auditing);
- Human Resources (Staffing, Diversity, Management);
- IT (Database, Networking, Bioinformatics, Helpdesk);
- Marketing/Advertisement; and more.
In the next few weeks we expect many more mentees to sign up, which is
why I am writing you today.
Businesses and organizations are needed to host a mentee or a small
group of mentees on Wednesday, October 15th. Your participation as a
mentor will make a big difference in their lives. If you can help,
please take a few minutes and fill out the online application today.
It's quick and easy to sign up. Simply create a DMD account at DMD
