We are kicking off a pilot of a “Secret Sponsor” program on September 24, 2021. This is a going-away gift from Nimisha to folx in her organization and anyone else interested. The operation of it (mapping people to each other) is akin to “Secret Santa” events that some people participate in during the holidays.

As a member of the program, you will have 2 secret sponsors assigned from within the program and 2 sponsorees of your own. In other words, each member will have 4 direct connections, know about only 2 of them, and with indirection connections to everyone else in the program.

A few details:

• Timing: The expectation is to continue your sponsorship from the time you acknowledge receipt of your assignments until the end of December 2021.

• Who: Each member will have 1 sponsor from their same timezone and 1 sponsor from their proximate team.

What does it mean to be a Sponsor for someone?
