Utah Women's Leadership Speaker & Dialogue Series titled, "Navigating Transitions: Finding New Paths, Passions, and Purpose."
September 26, 2018 Robbyn Scribner (moderator), Julie de Azevedo Hanks (Licensed Therapist, Owner of Wasatch Family Therapy), Jackie Nunez (UVU Turning Point, Personal and Career Development), Christine Wzorek (HR Director, Four Foods Group) & Merrilee Boyack (Author, Speaker, Life Coach, Lawyer, Community Leader) Although many Utah women step away from paid work for a time to stay home with children or prioritize other responsibilities, 60% of adult Utah women are currently in the workforce, including more than 70% of mothers with school-aged children. For women who have the desire or need to return to their jobs/careers after taking time off, the “re-launch” into paid employment can be a daunting prospect. This panel discussion will cover such topics as keeping professional skills and networks current, exploring interests and volunteer roles that could turn into job opportunities, and re-negotiating family responsibilities during this major transition. Our four expert panelists come from varying backgrounds, and their experiences and professional knowledge will instruct and inspire women who are considering this next stage of life.
