Affiliated Partners and Affiliated Partners Plus Representative Responsibilities and Opportunities

Representatives play a central role in an affiliated organization's ability to reap the benefits from the partnership. Representatives serve the crucial functions of recruiting mentors and helping to publicize MentorNet to their constituents. While representatives' duties may differ based upon their organization's partnership with MentorNet, here are some possible responsibilities and opportunities.

Responsibilities
