WoGM LENS - May Edition
THE ONLY CONSISTENT THING IN LIFE IS CHANGE...
Welcome back everyone to another edition of the LENS newsletter - where you get the latest updates on WoGM. This newsletter has had many versions over the past few years, and we appreciate that you subscribe and follow us! Once again, it's time to make some changes as we move forward to a more streamlined approach to our WoGM membership and community members. We're listening and with the proper board members and committees now in place, we expect to see many revamps to familiar programs. If you have a suggestion - we definitely want to hear it! [email protected]
MEMBERSHIP IN WOGM
You may have received a message from our Membership Director - Taylor Williams Smith in the past few weeks asking you to fill out your interest in being a WoGM member. Our membership drive has gone out to over 2000 contacts and we are working hard to clean up our database so that we can use it to communicate with you all in efficient ways.

WoGM Mission Statement
At Women of Global Mobility, we embark on a mission driven by inspiration, connection and steadfast support. Our objective is evident: to empower women in global mobility, offering more than just a network but a thriving community where aspirations can blossom.
BACK TO SLACK? - WoGM CarePods
In the past few months, we've been looking at ways that we can reorganize the Care Pods to avoid the scheduling conflicts, grouping of topics, and more. We are currently looking at several options. Please vote in our LinkedIn Poll- HERE
Before we started tracking our membership, we used to have a SLACK group where all of WoGM members could pop in and out to ask questions and be part of the various channels. Would you be interested in going back to that?
This or That Fridays
You may have seen a few LinkedIn posts about "FRIDAY DISH". If you've tried to join in but couldn't access the room - we're sorry! We are working on getting this automated so that everyone has it on their calendars and can join without a dedicated host. Look for an e-mail shortly with instructions and a joining link. We will restart the calendar starting on June 14th at 11am EST with Friday Dish Chat.
The Friday Dish! Friday Chat
Dive in for a no-frills cup of joe and agenda-free conversation with other mobility pros. All are welcome to jump in and out as your availability allows. Come say 'Hi'! - Next Friday Dish - June 14th @ 11am EST. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82739725231
She's Got a Story Podcast! Live!
Casting call! We're looking for women who are ready and willing to share their story - LIVE. No edits, no apologies - we're sharing in real time about REAL topics women face at home and in the workplace. From life transitions to infertility, medical anxiety and childhood trauma. There really is a story for everyone. Check it out every other Friday - now LIVE on LinkedIN.
