Hi, I'm Jodi Bell. I'm the vice president  of advertising for the panhandle for LocalIQ  
and for Gannett and I have been in the  Executive Mentor Program as a mentor since  
2016 and have been matched with five different  students. I'm enthusiastic about mentoring and  
I love being a part of the UWF Executive Mentor  Program. I see that this is part of my legacy  
and the contribution of time that I make to each  of these students will impact them for the rest  
of their lives and I take that very seriously and  it's rewarding to me. I think I've learned as much  
from each of my mentees as they have learned from  me. I always gain new perspectives and fresh ideas  
and each one of them has made me a better  leader. All five have been very different  
and I count myself lucky to be on their personal  board of directors. I am at times a coach. I am  
a supporter. I am a cheerleader. I'm a connector  and an industry expert. I believe that it is our  
responsibility as leaders to develop the next  generation and take very seriously the concept  
of being able to inspire them to dream more,  to learn more, to do more, and to become more.
