Yey!
I found out today that I got accepted into the Mentoring Program at my company. What they do, is that they select a certain number of "staffers" (non-managers), and they pair the staffers up with the big-wigs of the company (ie. VPs, Directors, etc.). Throughout the year, the Mentor/Mentoree would meet on a regular basis to discuss various business/career-related topics, and the whole group gets together once a month to have a lunch/presentation/discussion on more business-related topics. It's a pretty cool program. I've heard lots of good things about it. *Excited*
So basically, if you develop a good rapport with your Mentor, chances are that it'll be very helpful career-wise down the road since all the big-wigs talk to each other. It certainly would help if they have something good to say about you. :o)

We have a program like that here. When we get tired of our company screwing us around, we complain to them during meetings. They doodle while pretending to listen.

Ha ha ha. :p All too familiar with that program, unfortunately.
