Trying to Make Work, Work for You?

Our one day format provides great educational sessions, networking opportunities, and more.

And our speakers - expert AND interesting - are amazing...find out more here.

Flexibility and "work-life balance" were once dismissed as "mommy issues"...but no longer. The most successful companies are realizing that to promote company loyalty, and to attract and retain the best employees, they must provide a workplace environment that allows every individual to maintain that personalized balance of work and home life.

Those same companies benefit from access to an exceptional pool of loyal talent who bring skills and experience to the table.

Our forum, four years strong, has brought together talented women and forward-thinking companies for mutual benefit. Ideas are shared, conversations are started, and relationships are begun that have led to new positions, new career paths, and even new companies.

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.

About the Forum
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...
