What is the
“EWL Deconstructed Professional Development Day”
a>?
We look forward to the Emerging Women Leader
s Professional Development Day in September all year – a full day learning,
advancing leadership skills, and connecting with 150+ of Milwaukee’s best
and brightest rising stars, community-minded change makers and up-and-comin
g leaders. This September would have been the 5th annual workshop, but… we
are in a global pandemic. Due to COVID-19, the event will be packaged a lit
tle differently this year, but EWL members and guests can still expect all
of the above! Instead, we are “deconstructing” the Professional Development
Workshop and offering a series of virtual events held throughout the Summe
r and Fall, including a collaboration with the TEMPO Leadership Event in Oc
tober. We are planning to hold the 5th Annual Professional Development Day
(in person!) in May 2021. If you have any questions, please contact Event C
ommittee chair Megan Carver or vice chair Cassie Schell.
