Hi everyone,

This week's AIDS Research Community Handbook Article is now online:

Mentoring 101
http://www.researchadvocates.org/article006.htm

As community members, most of what we learn about HIV/AIDS research doesn’t
happen in a classroom or training. We learn as we go, and more often than not,
we learn from each other. Mentoring is a powerful tool to grow the number of
informed and active community members in your local community advisory board,
and perhaps one of the most important things we can do to strengthen our
collective voice.

Use this handout in your local CAB (or other group) to start a conversation
about mentoring.

* Are there new members of your group that could benefit from a mentor?

* Is there an upcoming conference or scientific meeting where new folks folks
would benefit from being paired with a more experiences 'buddy'?

* Have you taken time to thank the mentors in your life? Is it easy for you to
ask for help when you need it?

If you need help setting up a mentoring program, drop me a line, and let me
know. And as always, let me know what's going on in your CAB and what topics
you'd like to see covered in the future.

Best - David
