Here's how bolder bond matches are made:
|
Senior members present their expertise by creating a profile page with a brief biography, articles and links to give an overall impression of their field of excellence. They declare themselves approachable and ready to become mentors.
|
Potential mentees have to apply and qualify. They have to convince a jury, demonstrate their commitment and confirm this with a pledge. Once official approval is given they are given access to the experts' profiles.
