Sara Foskitt, like many of our members, moved to Austin as a young adult and knew zero people in Austin. As a real estate attorney, Sara learned how to find her own mentors and later started a Mentor program in her industry, the model of which is still being used in that industry today. During this engaging session, you'll learn how to: 1. Find the Right Mentor: Discover effective strategies for identifying and approaching potential mentors in your field. 2. Make the Most of Mentorship: Gain tips on how to cultivate a productive mentoring relationship and maximize your learning experience. 3. Reap the Benefits: Explore the various advantages mentorship offers, from career advancement to personal growth.

  • For countless generations, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians have built vibrant and diverse cultures — keeping land, language, spirit, knowledge, and traditions alive. This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we celebrate the significant contributions and recognize the many sacrifices of Indigenous communities that make up the cultural fabric of the state of Texas.
