The New Imbalance, February 16, 2022 Program

Due to the current high level of COVID cases in our area, we have decided to move this event to zoom, NOT in-person. You can register up to the morning of February 16!

What are YOU balancing every day, every week, day in and day out? Kids, work, school, vaccines, in-person versus virtual, masks or not—so much going on! How has that balancing act been impacted by the pandemic, and what can be done to make things better?

It might help to know you’re not alone:  the Women’s Funds of northeast Wisconsin conducted a survey to measure the impact of COVID on women in our region, and in February we will highlight Julie Keller, Executive Director of the Women’s Fund for the Fox Valley Region to speak about key survey results. We can bet on stress levels increasing, but by how much? And why?

Come to our February Legislative program to learn about:

• How COVID has impacted women’s juggling act according to the Women’s Fund survey;
• What women have—and have not—been doing in reaction to the pandemic;
• What Legislative remedies are being proposed that would help to alleviate these impacts;
• What each of us can do to make things better for all women in Wisconsin.
