This week I had another mentor visit with Anna. It's actually been a week since I've seen her, because last week the rain and schedule conflicts just didn't work out, so I never had the opportunity to drive down. I sat in on a meeting that she had with all of the other lawyers at Mosaic, and I really liked getting to see how she interacted with her colleagues. I think sometimes I get so wrapped up in thinking that the mentorship is largely just a vehicle for finishing my Final Product, that I forget the value of being able to see the dynamics of nonprofit lawyers working together on a day-t0-day basis. I was so happy to get this opportunity because meetings like this are what I really wanted to get out of ISM in the first place, and I'm so grateful to be getting the chance. We also talked on the phone on Friday about how the program has been going so far for me. Anna wanted to be sure that I understood the value of the meetings that I had been sitting in on, and I assured her that I had been getting something out of every single one of them. It was another great week that I really took to heart why I was so glad to be in this program again.
