Instructor/Mentor Rendezvous
The first Instructor/Mentor Rendezvous was held eleven years ago, Sunday, April 19, 2015.
MHHF Hunter Ed Instructors and Mentors gathered to share their experiences executing the MHHF Clinic Model. The goal was to learn from each other, identify best practices and explore ways to improve the clinic model for everyone involved. The information was captured, approved by the MHHF Board of directors and added to the Clinic Manual providing a new section: “Best Practices.”
This year we are holding this Rendezvous on March 29th at 10:30AM, preceding our Annual MHHF Membership Meeting.
We are asking our seasoned members to actively contribute to the discussion. New members are invited to come, learn more, and meet MHHF members from across the state!
This will be a lively, fun and informative conversation.
Lunch will be served immediately following the Rendezvous at 12:00 - 1:00 pm and prior to the MHHF Annual Membership Meeting (1:00 - 2:30 pm). Please join us for both sessions!
