Goal Setting Examples: My mentor is involved with many community

organizations and I always wanted to learn more about how credit unions can make the most of these relationships.

As a new supervisor, I want to learn more about being successful in this position.

I’d like to get pointers from my mentor about my career path. Does my mentor have contacts in the area of mortgage lending?
