Because we don't have any in Michigan. However we have a whole lot of people who served in Senior Mentor -like functions; many of them ended up starting FIRST in Michigan.
The best thing that a Senior Mentor can be, in my opinion, is the go-to person for help. Can't figure out programming? Go to the Senior Mentor and she will direct you to another mentor for help. Need assistance with Chairmans? Again, call your Senior Mentor. Need help with fundraising? (You get the idea.)
As opposed to the informal structure we had here in MI, and you had to know to go to Jim or Walt or Gail - or find some other equally capable mentor to assist you. How can you find the great resources that are out there, if you don't know the great people?
