The Virginia Section WCC will be holding a 10th Anniversary Event in the beginning of June, and the planning committee is looking for suggestions and leads on potential speakers. This event will be geared towards mid-career women looking for advice/input/inspiration on getting to the next level of their careers. The desired speaker is a women with chemical background who is currently in a prominent position at her company, who is willing to share her career story and what she found to be the key to her successes. Alternatively, a career development speaker with expertise on coaching towards breaking the glass ceiling would work. We are willing to work around speaker availability on setting the date, but event will take place around Richmond, VA. Due to budget restrictions, speaker located in eastern half of US would be preferred. Thanks, Stephanie Mabry stephanie.mabry@aftonchemical.com
