Annual Prodigy Group Mentorship Program Appreciation Dinner
Posted on: November 15, 2011On October 27th, we held our annual Appreciation Dinner for the Prodigy Group Mentorship Program, as a time to celebrate the success of our mentorship matches for 2011, as well as thank our mentors for all of their time and support they provided and continue to provide to our emerging business leaders. The Executive House Hotel hosted the night’s event, where we heard from special guest speaker Mel Cooper, and presented the appreciation awards to the mentors. It was a very inspiring event; we are all looking forward to continuing to grow the Mentorship Program through 2012 and into the future.
