Jesse Dykhuis and Kathleen Adee have worked as organizers and advocates for workers and women’s rights for over two decades. During that time they have seen competent, smart, independent women oftentimes defer to louder voices in the room. This has left them frustrated and vowing to do it differently the next time. But it’s hard if you haven’t had practice. This professional development opportunity will give women and those who identify as female the skills to flip the script, next time.
Join us for a day of learning, sharing, contemplating, and action-oriented skill development.
Space is limited to 20 participants. Registration is $20 per person and includes: Coffee, lunch and a goodie bag.
