Trying to make work, work for you? Our one day format provides great educational sessions, networking opportunities, and more.
Spend a day focused on you:
- If you are considering going back to work full-time after having kids
- If you never left, but are trying to make your career work for you AND your family
- If you've got a great idea for your own business, or want to help someone else with their big idea
- If you want to spend more time with your family while maintaining a professional-level career
- If you want to spend LESS time with your family and more on a professional career!--especially if kids are getting older)
Created by a mom for moms, with an ever-changing and regional roster of speakers who are mainly moms themselves, this is a day that offers ideas, insight, and inspiration. And it's a built-in network of great like-minded women. And lest you think we forgot--dads, there's great sessions and applicability for you, too, so we encourage you to join us if you've been home for a bit and want to get back--or if you're sick of working 90+ hour weeks and want to know a bit more about this elusive "work life balance".

If you've got kids, planning on kids, or even if you're in the position of just wanting career balance for your own reasons--and if you want to tap into an oustanding network of great women...make plans to join us.
The Detours and On Ramps Forum was founded to address the needs and issues of mothers, especially those grappling with their choice to work full time, part time, or from home.
The Forum was designed to bring intelligent women together to discuss the issues facing us all - because women and the marketplace both benefit when talented, well-educated mothers can contribute both at home and at work.
Through networking with fellow working mothers, discussions with the companies leading the way in solutions for working mothers, and panels and sessions on some of the most common issues faced by mothers who elect to work outside the home, Detours and On Ramps aims to provide a forum for women to meet, examine their options, and figure out their next steps.
With career resources and expert advice offered through panel discussions, small-group sessions, and networking opportunities, the hope is that mothers will leave the Detours and On Ramps Forum feeling more in control of their choices and options - and reassured that as intelligent, educated women, their contributions still matter.
The Detours and On Ramps Forum is pleased to have been selected to receive a cash award from the Avon Hello Tomorrow Fund. Learn more...
