- November 15, 2023: Presentation by Laurie Weingart, co-author of The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work. The No Club started when four women, crushed by endless to-do lists, vowed to say no to requests that pulled them away from the work that mattered most to their careers. This club spurred subsequent research which showed that, across industries, jobs, and levels of seniority, women carry a heavier load of tasks that support the organization but do not advance their careers. The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work, incorporates this data with personal anecdotes, self- and workplace-assessments for immediate use, and innovative advice for advancing workplace equity. It provides strategies for both identifying and responding to non-promotable tasks (such as taking notes at meetings, organizing team-building events, or serving on organizational governance committees) as well as illuminating how lasting change calls for organizations to reassess how they assign and reward work.
- February 13, 2024: Galentine's Day Social & Celebration. Originated by a fictional character on TV in 2010, Galentine's Day has been going strong for over a decade and is a day to celebrate the joys of friendship. We will explore the importance of networking, mentorship and friendship. We'll also have supplies on hand so you can write your own Galentine's message to a friend, colleague or mentor!
