Learn about The FENG's Mentoring Initiative and the development of our Job Club Teams.

Our very special guest on Chat with Matt will be our very own Eileen Robbins.

Eileen and I are planning a lively discussion of these two very new aspects of our organization and how they came to be and where we're going with them.

As a senior executive for such institutions as the United Nations, The Conference Board, various money center banks and securities clearing houses, Ms. Robbins developed a career as a global business development and enterprise risk management executive.
