Dear  Catharine, 
Please see  the latest from AIC's Emerging Conservation Professionals  
Network: 
ECPN at AIC’s 40th Annual Meeting  Survey
Many thanks to all of you who were able to  join us at AIC’s 40th Annual 
Meeting in Albuquerque. We enjoyed hearing  from you at our informational 
meeting, socializing at our happy hour,  and seeing many of you (and your work!) 
at the portfolio session. We  also hope that you were able to visit our 
poster in the poster session.  If you didn’t, you can find the related blog

We  would love to hear your thoughts about our annual meeting activities. 
We  created a brief survey to collect your feedback and we would appreciate

New Webinar  Series   
The  Emerging Conservation Professionals Network (ECPN) is pleased to  
announce the creation of a new webinar series. These webinars will  be held 
periodically and will feature guest presenters who will  speak about topics of 
interest to emerging conservators. The  topics of these webinars are being 
developed based on feedback  generated from a survey of ECPN members in 
February  2012.

Our first webinar will be held on Thursday, July 26,  from 1-2pm EST. 
Please join us and our featured presenter, Debra  Hess Norris, who will be 
speaking about Self-Advocacy and  Fundraising for Personal Research. In addition 
to Norris’ remarks,  tailored to recent graduates on subjects including 
navigating the  field post-graduation, funding opportunities for independent  
scholars, and tips for self-advocacy, the webinar will include a  moderated 
discussion and Q&A session. Participants will also  have the opportunity to ask 
questions before and after the  webinar.

Attendance is free and open to all AIC members.  Registration is required. 
To register for the webinar, read more  about our first speaker, Debra Hess 
Norris, and submit a question,  please visit:

Mentoring  Program   
Did  you know that ECPN has a mentoring program for members? In case  you 
didn’t know or would like to learn more, the mentoring program  matches 
seasoned conservators with emerging conservators to tackle  issues as large as 
career path guidance to issues as discrete as  advice on a specific treatment. 
The program is truly what one  wants to make of it, can last a lifetime or 
only a few months, and  can be a substantial time commitment or a minor time 
commitment.  To apply to be a mentor, you must be a Fellow or Professional  
Associate AIC member. To apply to be a mentee, you must be a  Student, 
Interim Year or Associate AIC member. Mentor applications  ask candidates for 
their strengths and interests, preferred  methods of communication, and 
available time to dedicate to the  mentoring program to name a few categories. 
Mentee applications  ask candidates about the types of goals and projects they’
d like  to tackle in a mentorship, preferred methods of communication, and  
available time, again, to name a few categories. Applications are  accepted 
on a rolling basis and are reviewed four times a year:  March 1st, June 1st, 
September 1st, and December 1st. While ECPN  makes every effort to match 
candidates as efficiently as possible,  sometimes locating the right match can 
take some time, so we  encourage you to apply early! If you have any 
questions or  feedback about the mentoring program, please contact Ryan  Winfield, 
Membership  Coordinator, at: _rwinfield at conservation-us.org_ 
(mailto:rwinfield at conservation-us.org) .  Applications and additional information about 
the mentoring  program can be found by logging onto AIC’s website  at
