The program is designed to educate the “next generation” of Oldtimers by recruiting mentors for participation, matching them with based on industry, area of expertise, position, location, availability, age and gender. I’ll be one of the program’s mentors.

Over the course of the year, the protégé will be responsible for creating an industry research document to be presented at an industry conference.

This program is an amazing opportunity for up and comers to learn and network with the best and brightest in the industry, while sharing their creative ideas and rethinking marketing perspective.
