You voucher for her to join the group. Pull her aside and let her know that her flirting behavior has been noticed by others and is unprofessional. Give her specific examples because she may not know what she’s doing.

Check in with her between WG meetings and pose questions for her to consider or something she should prepare prior to the meeting. If and when she doesn’t do those things, let her know you don’t think she’s puller her weight and you won’t be able to recommend her for WGs in the future.[/quote]

absolutely do not do this. There is no upside and a million possible ways this could backfire onto you. Just distance yourself from Jane. Its really up to Bob now to shut it down (or not). Just remain studiously, scrupulously neutral and neither affirm nor criticize anything she says or does in a meeting. Like, slightly ice her out, but not so much as it to be noticeable--its polite, careful, but mildly distant. You're a middle age woman and as much as you think you bring value experience and diversity to the company, no one will really protect you, especially not your "mentee."[/quote]
