The
Message from the
Chairman:
The Lint
Center Mentoring Program (LCMP)® aims to develop and guide
emerging leaders in National Security and
Counterintelligence. LCMP provides talented and promising
individuals interested in pursuing careers in national
service the opportunity to interact, correspond, and work
with real-world practitioners. The
Individuals who desire, decide,
and are fortunate enough to enter a career in national
service are expected to vault the learning curve. These
requirements are a challenge, but a necessity of the current
operational environment. The importance of developing the
next cadre of
The
Mentors are expected to provide
counsel, guidance, and direction. These three guiding
principles for leadership are the expectation for Mentors.
The onus for action and the responsibility of specific
inquiry is left to the individual mentee.
The old saying that “rookies
make rookie mistakes” is a truism but the number and
severity does not have to be part of that cardinal reality.
LCMP strives to elucidate with effect.
With over 150 mentors, the
Mentors must submit a
resume, CV or summary of their career for consideration to
be in the LCMP. These will be vetted. Mentors are expected
to respond in a timely manner to Mentees. The goal is to
answer questions within OPSEC and security considerations.

To Become a Mentor:
The Lint Center is constantly on the outlook to build and fortify its base of expertise. As such, the Center is actively looking for and keenly interested in finding individuals who seek to make a direct impact on the lives of emerging leaders.
We welcome and invite practitioners to inquire about becoming involved.
If you are interested in learning more, please use our webform to send a high level summary of your expertise/resume (OPSEC compliant). The Lint Center’s mentoring board will review, evaluate, and respond to you in short order.
Lint Center scholars benefit tremendously from the diversity of knowledge, experience, and expertise we offer. As such, the Center is always in need of more practitioners and more expertise. You would be surprised by some of the niche areas our scholars express interest in. In turn, we encourage you to inquire within to help support the next generation of America’s national security and counterintelligence workers.
The following is a listing of some of the Lint Center’s Mentoring team. It is neither comprehensive nor complete (the Center maintains over 110 Mentors). However, it is intended to provide individuals with a starting point to identify a point of contact that is a strong fit with current needs, mid-term aspirations, and future career goals.
The Lint Center maintains substantial and significant combined years of experience (hundreds) from Mentors who are willing, ready, and able to provide guidance to the motivated.
They learned by experience. They learned from shortcomings and success. They wish to provide knowledge on how to avoid the former and relish the accolades of the latter..
