● Listen to and share ideas about our profession, reflect on work priorities, discover opportunities, and learn from colleagues
● Connect with one another, whether new professionals or veterans, through conversations, and empower ourselves to thrive in our professional environment
● Build community: this is a meeting for everyone!
