Join GIFT for this Summer Gathering and Mixer! An opportunity for current GIFT attendees and new attendees to continue to be inspired, gain empowerment and the positive contagious energy that fuels long after the GIFT monthly sessions.
GIFT (Gaining Insight for Transition) for Women is a group sponsored by the Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce. Its purpose is to create and support a thriving network for women in transitional stages and empower them to connect with their passions, dreams, and skills through access to a guest lecture series, employment, and volunteer opportunities, and monthly meetings that encourage personal and professional growth. GIFT attendees will have an opportunity to mingle and discuss topics such as women contemplating a career change, mothers considering returning to work, and empty-nesters searching for their next step.
GIFT meetings are held at the Chamber facilities from 12:00-1:00 PM on the first Tuesday of each month during the months of May-October. Participants are welcome to bring lunch. GIFT does not meet during the months of June-September and will resume in the month of October. Meetings are free to attend for Chamber members and non-members.
