“Everybody I talk to who has either had the opportunity to be mentored by somebody,

or who has been involved in mentoring, talks about the fact that it is a two way experience;

that the people who are there as mentors get invigorated, inspired and enthused and

actually get to see the world in a slightly different way.”

~Tania Chambers, CEO Screen NSW

(speech at the Launch of the MMW Program, 1 October 2008)
