Work/Life Balance

Panel Discussion

Please join MASS-AWIS for a panel discussion on work life balance.  It has been a recurring theme for the members of the MASS-AWIS chapter, as well as career women in general, that finding a balance between work and life sometimes feels like an impossible feat.  Hillary Clinton put it well when she said, “Our lives are a mixture of different roles.  Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . . .” Join our panel discussion to hear about how some other women have found balance in their lives and please feel free to bring questions for them that are of most interest to you.
