Topic:"Transforming & Reenergizing Your Downsized Workforce"
2010 Planning
The group selected 'Wellness of High Performing Female Executives' as theme for our December meeting. As over-taxed, success-oriented professionals, our physical and mental health often fall to the bottom of our daily priorities. We will explore this topic further and walk away with some quick and practical methods for improvement over the holidays. Viola Llewellyn is lining up the agenda to include a dynamic keynote speaker and Donna Loftin and Chris Reed are securing the venue.
