Program Description
One of the underlying principles of the FWA is to increase the networks of our individual members. The Committee was developed to help FWA members in transition hone their interviewing skills, present a polished professional image and increase the number of people in their personal networks.

Each year, the Committee works to develop a speaker and panel series addressing the requested needs of the audience.
