Sips of Inspiration: “Women Supporting Women Through the NOVA Women’s Network”

Date/Time: Friday, September 17th 2021 from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Purpose: The past year and a half has been a doozy and as we return to our college locations, this is NOT business as usual. In this Sips of Inspiration event, we will discuss the current times and the new and sustained changes around us, but most importantly we will discuss how, through this Network, we can support one another. There will be an opportunity to learn more about the NWN Board and how we are working together to support our community of women. We want to hear from you and your needs. We will specifically acknowledge the impacts of the pandemic and its disproportionate impact on women. You will then be given the opportunity to connect with others in small groups to discuss some hot topic items and developing strategies for supporting one another as we journey into another academic year.
Scope: A networking opportunity will occur in break out rooms of your selection and willingness to share or just listen. Topics include:
i. What has been the cost of COVID
ii. This is What I have learned/gained
iii. This is What I have lost/experienced
iv. Anonymous (an opportunity to remove your name and picture              to be able to talk and share freely about the impacts on you)
Then we will return to our whole group connection. What will determine what WE need and how WE can support one another. This is an amazing Network of women with a wide range of knowledge, skills and abilities! Together we will advocate, empower and support one another.
Sips: Come as you are with your beverage of choice.
Recording: Presentation will NOT be recorded
