About the Mentoring Committee
What we do: The SABER Mentoring committee facilitates mentoring relationships among members through two programs - SABER Buddies and SABER Mentoring Groups. The SABER Buddies program is meant to promote a positive and impactful experience for those attending the SABER Annual Meeting. The SABER Mentoring groups meet regularly for one full year, centered around a topic. People in both groups are matched in terms of what they want to give and get from the group. Groups are structured to be collaborative, equitable, and inclusive with no leadership hierarchies. The goal is for member to get to know each other, learn, and have the opportunity to build a sense of community.

SABER BuddiesThe goals of the SABER Buddies program are to:
Each Buddies group consists of four to six individuals (two to three individuals who requested mentorship and two to three individuals who expressed willingness to act as mentors). The Buddies groups are meant to exist in the weeks before, and during the SABER meeting, but that doesn’t mean that you and people in your group won’t become lasting friends or even collaborators in the future. Use this form to sign-up to be a mentor or mentee at the upcoming SABER Annual Meeting in July 2021. | SABER Mentoring GroupsThe SABER Mentoring Program is small group mentoring with members of groups set to meet regularly for one full year.
