We'll discuss topics including:
Why are government and employer policies that allow for work-life balance so important for women and families?
What laws have made a positive impact on individuals' ability to balance work and personal obligations, and what policy areas still need the most improvement?
As young women, what do we need to know about work-life policies as we enter new stages in our lives?
How can we get involved in activism and advocacy around these issues?
