Please join us at the Clay Pit Wednesday, December 4th at 6:00 PM as Dr. Ashleen Menchaca-Bagnulo outlines the factors that make women's involvement in the workforce especially challenging. She will also suggest some measures that could be taken to facilitate women's exit and re-entry into the workforce, given their dual role as caretakers and employees. Following her presentation, we will enjoy a roundtable discussion of this topic over a meal. The meal is free, but donations to help defray the cost are most welcome.

Space is limited to the first 20 people who register, so reserve your spot today!
