This month, MCC member Susan Hartman will share stories about her 2 decades of collaborative work with the countries of the Soviet Union. She will discuss how her childhood experiences, her personality and large doses of serendipity set the stage for her career. Members will be encouraged to discuss how these factors impacted their own career decisions. MCC Women Connect's purpose is to gather to connect and grow, sharing our experiences and learning from each other as we adapt to life's changes and transitions. Discussion ideas come from members, volunteer facilitators and a list of suggestions being developed. We meet once a month, from 10:00-11:30 a.m., on the third Thursday.
