The LOPSA Board congratulates LOPSA-NJ on the success of the LOSPA-NJ Professional IT Community Conference (PICC '10), May 7-8 2010 in New Brunswick, NJ. We also thank and commend the Conference Chair, William Bilancio, the PICC '10 Organizing Committee, the speakers and volunteers for their dedication and hard work, which was reflected in the quality of the conference and value to all participants. You have built a solid foundation for future PICC conferences, and served the community well.

LOPSA is working on a mentorship program, and we need your help!

Following up on the great keynote by Tom Limoncelli at the PICC conference someone mentioned the need for mentoring and there was a clear interest in the room of people to be mentors and be mentored. This page is a place holder for the development of this idea.

Please email volunteers@lopsa.org with your interest both as being a mentor, finding a mentor, helping us develop a mentorship program to make introductions of people, or any combination of those.

Watch this page for more information coming soon.
