Dana will help us understand how mindfulness is used for positive team interactions and finding meaning in your work. \nIMPORTANT – October is the start of the new NAWIC year when will install our new board and also have a welcome gift for new members or members who were unable to attend last year’s installation and have not yet received their gift.  So please make an effort to attend so you can meet all of our members and the new board.
