Next Week: No Meeting!

Happy Wednesday! 

Thank you all for joining us at our meeting this past Monday! We hope you enjoyed hearing from our lovely Treasurer and Director of Social Events, Gina Zarcone, as much as we did. Gina did an incredible job capturing what it means to "have it all" and facilitated an engaging conservation on what this means for women in the present day. If you are interested in learning more, we recommend checking out the most recent episode of our "Out of Office (with WiB)" podcast, titled Who Runs the World? w/ Gina, here! You can also reach out to Gina with questions.
