Take Back Your 9-5 Discussion Group Jan. 26!

[Rosetta Thurman]

Hello ladies! Thank you all SO MUCH for spending your Saturday sharing and helping each other brainstorm ways to advance our careers. Michele was incredible and I know we all wish she lived in DC...but my hope is that we can continue to support each other both virtually and in person, building on the tools that Michele shared with us. So we picked a date for our next meeting of the minds for Saturday, Jan. 26 when we can all get together in person to extend the conversations we had at the retreat, share resources/ideas/frustrations, and just feel good about taking control of our careers with a supportive group of strong women! We talked about potential locations a little bit, but let's test out 11am on Saturday, Jan. 26 at one of the following locations. We can do coffee or brunch to keep it during the first part of the day when it might be easier for us to make the space. RSVP instructions: I set up a Doodle poll for folks who will be attending the next meeting and for us to vote on locations. So if you WILL be with us on Jan. 26, please complete the poll with your name and choose your preferred location. See below for more info on the 3 places we could meet. Also if anyone wants to volunteer their home/apartment/community room, that would be even better! Let us know in the forum comments.

I'm looking forward to Saturday! One quick question--did we decide to read just the first two chapters of The Not So Big Life, or the entire book?
See you all soon!
