The 2019 YLC Mentor Program had its kickoff reception on May 8 at Millennium Brokerage Group in Brentwood, with the largest group of YLC alumni participating in the fourth year of the program. Twenty-two YLC alumni were matched with 22 recent YLC graduates to serve as professional and personal advisors through regular monthly meetings, emails and phone calls. The purpose of the program is for the participants to discuss professional and career issues, community service and board issues, and to learn and grow from opportunities, challenges and successes.
