MENTOR FORUM

The West Texas Innovation Network (WTIN) offers a MENTOR FORUM which presents successful small business owners as featured speakers who will share information regarding their experiences in becoming entrepreneurs.  This valuable information and networking opportunity is only available to those who have completed the WTIN survey/application, thus becoming a WTIN network member.  Becoming a network member is simple.  Just complete the WTIN Application and the WTIN Survey.

 

The format of the forum includes a panel discussion of topics relevant to any new entrepreneur and break-out groups where your individual questions can be proposed to the mentors for their feedback.  This setting is not designed as a traditional one-on-one mentoring activity, but does provide the aspiring or new entrepreneur an opportunity to interface with several successful entrepreneurs at one time.  In consideration for the mentors’ willingness to volunteer their time, each bi-monthly forum will only be a 2-hour time investment.  The mentors represent a cross-section of entrepreneurial endeavors from all business segments.  Mentors will have the availability to volunteer as frequently as their schedules will allow over the course of the year.

 

The expertise and experience of the mentors include too many topics to enumerate, but a brief sampling of topics includes:

  • Advertising
  • Human Resources
  • Manufacturing
  • Marketing
  • Planning
  • Financials
  • Sales
  • Recruiting
  • Internet
  • Leadership
  • Wholesale
  • Import/Export
  • Supervision
  • Retail
  • Website

 

WTIN offers a MENTOR FORUM every other month at no cost to network members.
