Join us for our 4C17 Event: Building Sustainable, Capable Lives, or Tilting at Windmills?
How many of us lament our busy lives, and wonder how we can possibly balance the demands of family, work, and even maybe self? This year’s Coalition session arose from conversations and frustrations that Coalition members have expressed over the years—how do we do all that we do and still (maybe) even stay sane?
The Coalition is hosting its annual Wednesday night meeting: 6:30 pm, on Wednesday, March 15 in The Portland Ballroom 252.
This year’s session, “Building Sustainable, Capable Lives or Tilting at Windmills?” will focus on Work/Life Balance and will feature a lesson making ezines (Christine Martorana), a few moments for mindful meditation in busy places (Kathleen J. Ryan and Christy Wenger), and choices for five Action Tables. The second half of the evening will include our usual mentoring tables, plus others centered on work/life balance.
