It’s A Jungle Gym Scramble Out There- Making Smart Career Moves

McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter
Morristown, NJ

6:00-8:00 pm

Presented by NJWLA’s In-House Committee

As Sheryl Sandberg acknowledged in her book Lean In: “I could never have connected the dots from where I started to where I am today.” A career path focused on growth may not take the form of a linear ladder of upward progression, but may be more like a jungle gym — where your next, best move is sideways or on a very different tangent.

Join us for light dinner, wine & a candid discussion with our panelists who will share insights on career progression for in-house women attorneys — including when to make career moves, how employers evaluate job changes & breaks, and alternative careers you may not have considered. We are limiting the program to [25] participants to maximize the opportunity for a highly participative event.

Panelists include: 

Hope Blackburn
General Counsel, Jersey City Public Schools

Mary Clare Garber
Vice President, Princeton Legal Search Group

Beth Zelnick Kaufman
Vice President, Legal Affairs, Amneal Pharmaceuticals

1.8 CLE Credits Pending

Exclusively for in-house women-public, private and non-profit
