Associate Mentoring

Dear  ……………………..

SAM would like to do its best to welcome new Associates and help them settle in as members of our great Club.

Some find this to be more of a challenge than others in the early stages of their membership. In many cases the only person they have met or spoken with - in this Internet world - is their Observer.

SAM aims to deal with this issue by asking a Full Member of SAM to make and maintain contact with a new Associate during this time.

As you have only recently passed your IAM Advanced Motorcycling Test and become a Full Member of SAM, it occurs to me that you are well-qualified to understand how a new Associate may be feeling as they progress with their training.

I would, therefore, like to ask if you would be willing to `Mentor` one of our new Associates, helping them by discussing with them any questions that they may have and perhaps offering a little moral support, either by email, by phone or even by meeting them, either at one of the various SAM events or perhaps at some other time.

By doing so, you will be helping to make SAM more welcoming to new Associates, a valuable endeavour indeed.

Please do let me know that you can help in this way and I will put you in touch with an Associate.

Regards

Alec Gore
