Peg Adams Peer-to-Peer Mentoring
The purpose of the Peg Adams Peer-to-Peer Program is to link new state staff with experienced staff working in diabetes so they can discuss challenges, share successes, and increase their professional networks. For the past twenty years, the Peg Adams Peer-to-Peer Program has matched Guides and Learners in a program designed to welcome new state staff into our community to share experience and receive input and support from others has matched Learners and Guides.
“My mentor has done a great job creating open-ended discussions about relevant topics and barriers we may be facing. Together, we have problem-solved, shared resources, and kept one another in the loop of any trainings and opportunities that could help us succeed in our work.”
