Corporate Housing Providers Association + Worldwide Employee Relocation Council International Women's Day Workshop: Pre-event survey

The leadership of both of our organizations are excited that this year's International Women's Day festivities will address the top barriers for women from achieving their professional potential.   We will be hosting both a keynote and two interactive workshops--and to make these sessions as valuable as possible for you, we ask that you please provide your perspective, so we can ensure that we address the topics that are most relevant for you and your colleagues. 

It should only take three minutes of your time to share your input.  Our workshop facilitators, Wet Cement, will use these insights to tailor our sessions, so that they are relevant and valuable for all of us.
