January is National Mentoring Month! All month long ICMA will be highlighting the importance of mentoring. Mentoring is one of the best ways to help shape the next generation of leaders, and we need your help to get this message out! Below are 5 tweetable mentoring quotes to help spread the word.
"Remember that [mentoring] is always a two-way learning opportunity. Mentors also learn from the relationship."

"The best leadership advice I received was from my mentor and that was to be open."
- City Manager Caryn Gardner-Young, Parkland, Florida
"An important part of being a professional is to mentor others and to help them avoid the mistakes made by their predecessors."
-Visiting Instructor Steven Spina, PhD, University of South Florida
"Get involved, reach out, and get to know your local colleagues, and find a mentor."
-City Manager Pam Brangaccio, New Smyrna Beach, Florida
"Be an inspiring mentor to those you work with and those you may work with in the future."
