Finding a Work-Life Balance

Having difficulty finding the perfect balance between work and life? You’re not alone. Join us for a panel discussion with Christy Broccardo and Tiffany Mathis on the importance of balancing your job, family and friends, community engagements and, most all, time for yourself. We will discuss the value of advocating for yourself, deciding what you’re willing to sacrifice, being present and how to find what works best for you. Michelle Eccles will serve as panel moderator.
