"I have been a mentor for my company for 15 plus years and was very happy to provide mentoring through the RRC/CRS program.

It was a very positive experience for me to help encourage a good agent who needed some support and guidance.

There is an invaluable joy in mentoring when you see others succeed and know you made a difference for them.

I truly believe that mentoring is every bit a gift for both the mentor and the one being mentored."

~ Martha Knapp, CRS
