Empowering Women in Industry Video Chat

We would like to invite you, our Empowering Women in Industry community, to get together via zoom!  We can share & connect while asking questions and chatting about being essential to keeping the world running. We want to continue to be here for you! Join us and share how we can help EMPOWER you and your community! We are excited to have Toni Neary as our November guest speaker. She will be joining us to talk about "The phases of your career & work life balance". In this session, Toni will talk about supporting and advocating for other women, outreach in your community, and the things she wishes someone had told her about the changes as you become a wife, mother, and your kids grow.
