Enriching Fall Forum at UMASS
What an incredible evening at UMass Boston, where we were able to observe a beautiful sunset, enjoy a fabulous dinner and network with peers and learn from several incredibly talented women in the healthcare space.
It was an honor to host Suzy, Catherine and Gaby as our panel addressing healthcare consulting. Each of these role models talked through their experience in becoming a consultant, driving change, and female entrepreneurship. The common theme, though each presenter had a unique focus, included the importance of relationship-building, confidence and resiliency. Their skill, grit and willingness to be learners definitely resonated with our audience and led to an incredibly interactive question and answer session.
Christie Hager covered her “zigzagged” career path through public service and healthcare, ultimately leading to her law degree focused upon health policy. Listening to Christie, she was instrumental in healthcare policy development, and we are grateful for her continued service to an important cause.
Both discussions had the attention of attendees, and the opportunity to speak with them in a warm, intimate setting set the stage for network development, contact information exchanges, and partnerships.
A HUGE thank you to the Board of Women in Healthcare management (Jayne, Tanya, Debbie and Rachel) for your relentless pursuit of creating these valuable opportunities for women in healthcare, helping further build the future of our industry!
