Have you thought about leaving your secure job to follow your passions? Do you value a new challenge over the career dictated by others? Perhaps there are opportunities you want to take advantage of but worry about the risk? You are not alone!
AWIB is featuring a group of ordinary women (like you and me) who have refused to be stuck in a place or career. They are a lawyer who became a handbag designer; an apparel industry executive who created a career around the needs of her child; a laid-off manager who turned a family recipe into a must-have snack; a graphic designer who made home-grown cashews into a premium product; and a lawyer-turned-media professional. Inventing a new stage of your life is hard but possible, and the results can be rewarding. Join us and hear from people who dared to take the risk to change their lives.
A networking reception follows the discussion.
RSVP required by Tuesday, August 19
AWIB Members: Free
Non-Members $35 per person
