MFAAP Mentoring Initiative and Forum: A Day of Celebration

The MFAAP is an affinity group sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations, and aims to create a pipeline of African American professionals within the field of philanthropy, increase mentee’s soft skills to include critical thinking and leadership, increase mentee’s technical skills in their area of expertise and create long-lasting business relationships that could potentially result in career opportunities for the mentee.

The morning session will be followed by a lunch to celebrate the graduation of the inaugural class and the addition of new mentors and mentees.

1:00pm - 2:30pm MFAAP Forum - Moving the Needle on Social Equity: Addressing Poverty, Education and Health in Low Income and Communities of Color
We will honor the recipient of the second annual Gerald K. Smith award.  This honor was created to recognize the significant efforts and contributions of a distinguished colleague in the field whose work and grantmaking activities promote the effective and responsive social change in communities of color.  In addition we will be joined by Dr. Sherece West, President and CEO of the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.  She will provide an in-depth dialogue about the work the foundation will be doing in 2013 to address poverty, health and education in low income and communities of color in Arkansas.  Dr. West will also offer recommendations on how each individual can play a role on moving the needle towards success in these areas, regardless of their current position and the steps that the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation has taken that can be applied to your foundation.
