About
| DANIEL F. BASSILLPresident & CEO, Cabrini Connections and Tutor/Mentor Connection Daniel F. Bassill has led volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs serving inner-city children and youth for more than 30 years. Between 1973 and 1990 this was a volunteer role, as Bassill held various advertising positions within the Montgomery Ward Corporation. Since 1975, more than 3,500 volunteers and 3,300 children have participated in programs Bassill has led. Some volunteers have participated for more than 10 consecutive years and some students have participated from first grade through college. In 1992, Bassill and six other volunteer leaders formed Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection, which is a non profit organization based in Chicago. Cabrini Connections is a volunteer-based, direct-service, non-school-program (www.cabriniconnections.net) that combines tutoring, mentoring and education-to-career concepts in an on-going commitment to 7th through 12th grade teens that we “will do everything we can” to help these youth be holding jobs and starting a career by age 25. The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) is an intermediary service that collects and shares knowledge about tutoring, mentoring, education-to-careers programs in Chicago and other cities and organizes actions designed to help comprehensive tutor/mentor programs grow in every high poverty neighborhood of Chicago (or any other major city). Visit T/MC web sites to learn more. www.tutormentorconnection.org and http://tutormentor.blogspot.com . In fifteen years Bassill and the organization's leadership volunteers have built an organization that is highly visible in the Chicago area and is gaining growing visibility around the world. Bassill has been recognized with numerous awards and has been interviewed in dozens of print, TV, radio and Internet media stories. These include: • One of three 2004 Shining Examples of Liberal Arts Leadership by the Associated Colleges of Illinois• Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa degree from Illinois Wesleyan University on Sept. 5, 2001• Appointed by Governor George Ryan of Illinois to serve as a Commissioner on the Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service beginning September 2001• Received Publisher’s Clearing House 1999 Good as Gold Award on December 31, 1999 televised segment of Montel Williams TV show• Served as one of ten Chicago delegates for the 1997 Presidents' Summit For America's Future• Selected as a Giraffe in 1997, for consistently sticking neck out to help others, by the Giraffe Foundation (www.giraffe.org) |
The Tutor/Mentor Connection is hosting a Leadership and Networking Conference in Chicago on May 29 and 30. The web site is http://www.tutormentorconference.org
The conference serves three purposes.
Business, educational and philanthropic leaders are invited to participate and connect directly with tutor/mentor program leaders.
We hope the networking and collaboration started at each conference continues in the weeks and months between conferences, and that many people and organizations will use the information on the Tutor/Mentor Library to help support their efforts to connect youth with mentors, learning, workforce development activities, jobs and careers.
Please share this information with people in you network who may be interested in this event.
