TOPIC: The State of Women

With the Women of San Mar Family & Community Services: Elisa Mabina, Jennifer Lewis, Jerica Washington & Jen Younker

Calling all women - Join this powerful group to discuss a variety of topics in an open and trusting environment.

San Mar Family and Community Services is a 140-year-old organization committed to meeting the needs of children and families in our community. Come hear from San Mar’s dynamic women leaders about issues uniquely affecting us as women, yet by extension, the health and well-being of our community. Take part in a lively conversation about how we can turn awareness into action!

The discussion will touch on: 

• The overburden of women in caregiving roles.
• Unrealistic expectations of women who face a gender pay gap and other inequities.
• Recognizing our immense capacity to be change makers - as Women Empowered!
