AFCEA NOVA's Mentor Protégé Night Brings Together the Most Distinguished Men and Women in the Industry
This season's AFCEA NOVA Mentor Protégé Night brought together aspiring young professionals with some of the most experienced and distinguished men and women in the industry. Before dinner, the Young AFCEANs had the opportunity to introduce themselves to the night's mentors during the networking and cocktail hour.
We were honored to have Major General Steven Smith introduce the night's theme "Learning Through Experience: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" by sharing some of his personal experiences and the knowledge he gained from them. Dinner conversation and discussion began with the help of table topics led by the mentors and young, new participants were encouraged to ask questions. The goal of this and every Mentor Protégé Night is for young professionals to interact with seasoned professionals in a comfortable, engaging environment.
