Lean In Seattle: CONNECT Circle Support + Resources | Lean-In-Athon

The second event in our CIRCLES: Support and Resources series will be a Lean-In-Athon, a Lean In Hackathon!

Join us for a fun and dynamic morning with activities designed to support members who are in transition, looking to grow, and looking to give back. We have carefully and inclusively crafted this event to provide opportunities for individual growth and community collaboration—to move members forward wherever they are in their personal, professional, or Circle journeys.
