Established Professionals Focus Group
The SWMS is inviting you to an Established Professional Focus Group on June 25th at 12 PM EST. The goal of this Focus Group will be to solicit the community’s feedback on how SWMS can better serve established professionals (more than 8 years since their most recent degree). We will provide an agenda and guiding questions prior to the meeting. SWMS leadership will also provide a brief introduction to SWMS and on our ongoing activities to help guide the discussion. To encourage an open and honest discussion, the session will NOT be recorded.
Questions can be directed to swms.general.contact@gmail.com
