9. Mentors Comments
The MWOA has proactively recognised the benefits of providing a Mentoring Program for its members. Mentoring is about change influenced by knowledge sharing. “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them” In essence you are, we are, all inspiring mentors & mentored.
