Happy Sunday!
We hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Our next meeting will be held on Monday, April 10th at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium and will be led by our fabulous Treasurer, Gina Zarcone! Gina's presentation will be focused on female empowerment, centered around the question: Can women have it all? She will be discussing the role of females in our predominantly male driven society in order to answer this question. This conversation will go hand in hand to the next episode of our "Out of Office (with WiB)" podcast which will be available tomorrow. This meeting will be very powerful and informative, so we hope to see you there!
We also will be live streaming this meeting on Zoom for virtual viewers to attend at the following link:
