From the Chair
Spring is finally here! I hope everyone has completed all year-end projects and is on their way to a productive 2014. I have truly enjoyed my relationships with CACC members and appreciate the opportunity to serve as CACC’s Chair this year.
To be successful, our association relies on all of our members. Our board and committee members do a great job in volunteering their time and hard work to put together great networking events and education opportunities. We always need more committee members, please reach out to a Board member for more information. We also rely on great members like you. We welcome feedback to continue to help CACC grow and be a great networking and development experience.
CACC kicked off 2014 at our February meeting. Moira Quinn, SVP Communications and COO of Charlotte Center City Partners presented the economic development in Charlotte. And Becky Keenan, President of The Keenan Convergence presented, “The Evolving Work-Life Needs of Today’s Workforce”. We would like to thank them for great topics and presentations.
Please join us for our April Social on Thursday, April 24. Jake Stewart and his committee have arranged a fun outing. The socials are a great way to network. If you don’t know anyone, feel free to find someone on the board and we will introduce you to other members. Please click here to register on the website.
I’d like to say a special “Thank you!” to Tracy Solida, 2013 CACC Chairperson. Tracy was an insightful leader in 2013. I look forward to working with Tracy again this year.

Mentoring
Source: Telemachus and Mentor/Charles Joseph Natoire
First, What Is Mentoring?
It was Homer’s epic tale The Odyssey that formally introduced us to the concept of mentoring: Odysseus selected his elderly friend, Mentor, to watch over his son Telemachus while he was away fighting in the Trojan War. So the story goes on to say that Mentor was responsible for guiding, teaching, and offering counsel to young Telemachus in his father’s absence.
Today, Merriam-Webster defines mentoring as a wise and trusted counselor or teacher; an influential senior sponsor or supporter. This is a good definition, but merely a starting point in the journey of understanding mentoring. Mentoring is a relationship between two individuals, with the more experienced individual, the mentor, serving as coach, cheerleader, confidant, role model, devil’s advocate, counselor and, when possible, a “door opener” for the mentee. It is a relationship based on trust and mutual respect in which both partners, the mentor and the mentee, have responsibilities and should benefit from the relationship.
On the surface, becoming a mentor or mentee may seem relatively easy and straight forward. However, as with all human interaction, there is potential for misunderstandings and disappointments. A common misunderstanding is the expectation that the mentor will find a job for the mentee or help the mentee get promoted. This is not a realistic expectation and we do not want mentors to feel burdened with this responsibility or mentees who are disappointed in not achieving this outcome. As such, the outcomes for the mentees must be clearly specified; the mentor program is a development and networking opportunity.
The CACC 2014 Mentoring program kicked off March 25th with mentees meeting some of CACC’s mentors and board members and getting orientation on the program. Although our season has kicked off, the committee would like to invite interested members to reach out anytime during the year if they need a mentor, and we will make our best efforts to match your needs with a senior subject matter expert in our community. To participate or volunteer, please email Chris Walker at [email protected].
