The Council of Instructor Mentors is a group CIIMs who are volunteering to lend support to other student Instructors and CIIMs. They are available for answering questions, sharing experience and offering support as your needs arise. The intention is that you will utilize this resource and be nurtured in the valuable services you provide in your community and our society. The Mentors come from various professions and teach our programs in different arenas, so you may contact the person that best suits your needs. Please email the appropriate CIIM to establish your initial contact. As we join together in collaboration and teamwork, both our programs and our bonds are strengthened, allowing further manifestation of our mission.
