Asia Williams named Mentor of the Year for stepping into leadership roles
Summary
Asia Williams received Mentor of the Year for taking initiative, stepping into multiple roles and positively influencing interns and co-mentors in the City of Little Rock summer program.
The Department of Community Programs presented Mentor of the Year and Mentor on the Rise awards during the luncheon; Asia Williams was named Mentor of the Year for quickly stepping into roles, leading peers and showing dedication to interns.
The emcee noted that Williams had not previously been an intern but rose to lead, asking clarifying questions and taking responsibility. "She was very inquisitive, and she came highly recommended," the emcee said, praising Williams's initiative and flexibility.
Organizers said some leniency was applied in staffing decisions this season because of a shortage of mentors, and they signaled plans to expand outreach for the following year.
