That's what private messages are for.

Really?!? I use them for something else. Oh wait - I thought you said private massages.

As I was planning ahead for next season, I decided I would be better off working for different secondary associations. Less travel and perhaps better games. I dashed off an email to a couple of assignors that have some schools within a 45 minute drive last week. Forgot about it until Sunday when one of them emailed me back & wondered if I could take a GV tournament game on short notice. Turns out that it was only about 90 minutes and the game was one of the best games I had all year. He gave me a couple of JH games which I took as a thank you for the game today.

The guys I worked with work for a neighboring assn, too, so I may look at them in the off-season.

unless im wrong (and i probably am) from what i heard you can't join an assoiciation untill after your first year.

as far as contacting assigners, when they came into our class they said after this class our names and contact info would be sent out along with what level our instructor thought we could handle.

as far as a mentor i would really like to have one but i guess im just lost cause i dont have one of those either.

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble getting started.

Can you get with the class instructor? Seems to be this person may be your only means to get the names of the assignors so you can contact them. Ya just gotta let them know you're out there!

A mentor takes time.

Sounds frustrating! Hopefully, your enthusiasm and drive will serve you well in the long run! Continued good luck!
