The Palm Beach North Women in Business Council cordially invites you to their newest virtual event. In this Zoom video conferencing setting, each attendee has the option to choose between two 20-minute breakout sessions to learn, grow and thrive in their business and personal life. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who is looking to meet others while staying physically distanced, but not socially.
Each breakout room will have a Palm Beach North Chamber member facilitating a discussion that pertains to topics we can all relate to right now. Topics such as balancing family and work all while in the same house, keeping a positive mindset during challenging and potentially financially-stressful times, working effectively or managing a team from home and mental clarity on how to work through making decisions will be covered. There will be enough time for discussion of the topic at hand along with a networking opportunity.
We are partnering with Salute Market who will offer a few specials for our socially distanced event. Attendees can choose a bottled "House Wine" (red, white or rose) OR a double Salute cocktail (2 per bottle) of either a cosmopolitan or margarita for $15 each. Pickup is available up to two days leading up to the event. Email JP Champagne (jp@salute2u.com) directly to pre-order, pay and schedule your pickup day!
