MCM Elegante' Ballroom

The Seafarers' Center of Beaumont, in conjunction with the Port of Beaumont, is proud to announce that the recipient of the inaugural Tom Jackson Sabine Neches Waterway Outstanding Service Award will be Congressman Ted Poe. This award was created to honor a person that realizes the importance of our waterway system, and has acted to improve and develop the waterway's potential with sustained and measurable results.

Congressman Poe personifies the meaning behind the award. 

In Search of Mentees...

   

We need your help! The Leadership Development Division of the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce is actively working to recruit bright, energetic and enthusiastic members of our community to place in leadership roles in our area to participate in the 3rd year of the Mentorship Program. This initiative is designed to pair professionals with leadership potential with more seasoned and established professionals in a mentee-mentorship relationship in order to expand the mentee's understanding of the inner workings of our community as well as encourage and enable a wider degree of community involvement and leadership. Past mentors have included former Mayors, current CEO's of local companies, and respected community leaders.  

 

The mentorship program runs from September to May during which, the mentor and mentee will be expected to meet at least once a month for an hour or more. Additionally, monthly opportunities will be provided for community field trips that involve behind the scenes access to important community organizations. The obligations of this program end with graduation in May, but the relationship between the mentor and mentee often lasts for years providing a valuable source of insight and counsel to the mentee. If you would like to nominate a mentee for this beneficial program, please complete the Mentee Request Form at this link by Monday, August 6, 2012 and send in either by email to adenison@bmtcoc.org or by fax 833-6718.
