Each session features expert speakers who bring real-world experience and actionable insights to the table.
WORKING PARENTS CHAT: Join us every other month for our Working Parents Chat Series, a virtual space designed to bring together parents navigating the challenges of balancing work and family life. This casual, supportive series offers an opportunity to connect with others who understand the daily juggle—from toddler tantrums to teen milestones.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS: Our chapter hosts high-quality in--person workshops designed to provide valuable insights and takeaways that can be used immediately in their daily job roles. We focus on a key topic for each workshop series and we break that topic up into skill building modules that include recordings, worksheets and hands on activities that are incorporated into each event resulting in a cohesive event planning program that takes you on a journey to master each topic.

This professional development series will cover emotional intelligence, communication, giving and receiving feedback, active listening, stress management, and interpersonal skills—providing practical tools to help you grow and succeed in any role. 
  • MANUFACTURING FUNDAMENTALS SERIES: This series brought us back to the fundamentals of manufacturing—exploring the core functions within a manufacturing company, learning how each department contributes to overall success, and hearing firsthand from subject matter experts about their day-to-day roles. We also had the opportunity to tour facilities and see these processes in action across a variety of manufacturing environments.
