Women in Transition (WIT)  is a Women's Connection Signature Program, a workshop in which you will interact - in person - with other members in your NYC chapter to explore new possibilities and navigate the changes in your life.

This is an in-person workshop from 10:00 – 3:00 with a lunch break. The workshop is limited to 15 participants. We will meet as a larger group and then break up into small discussion groups to facilitate meaningful interpersonal connections and a deeper self- understanding.

By the end of the workshop, members will have developed life transition goals and an action plan for their next steps.

The registration fee includes morning coffee and bagels/muffins. Lunch is on your own. We will provide names of nearby delis where you can purchase lunch, or you can bring you own.
