SHE-CESSION: Understanding the challenges and the opportunities facing women’s careers
As the pandemic threatens to dismantle decades of progress of working women, this workshop addressed the challenges and opportunities ahead with respect to flexible work, career transitions, and continued progress for working women. Our speaker was UMass Lowell Prof. Beth Humberd, Ph.D., an expert on worker identity, gender & diversity, relational dynamics in organizations, and the changing nature of work. Not only did Prof. Humberd address the current climate, she offered active steps to building career success and how to mentor and support women in your own networks and organizations.
