Women2Women - Spring 2018 - 5

Editor's Desk

pring is here and that means W2W Expo is right around the corner. We are excited to launch a
new theme this year, Work Smarter, Live Better: Tipping the Balance Between Work & Life. More
and more, I hear women's frustration with the reality that we're called upon to be connected to
our jobs 24/7, and while we may love our work and find passion in what we do, finding the right
balance is critical to success in both career and life.
We also listened to you, our members, who said that you want more content that you can take
back to your workplace and put into practice... just look at all that we're offering this year! I can
guarantee you that we listened and have a day packed full of great take-aways for you. From two
keynote speakers, three top-notch workshops, and much more, this is the year not to miss!

It's with great pride that we feature Dr. Anna Weitz as our cover story. Dr. Weitz, President of
Reading Area Community College, will be retiring in June after leading the college since 2007.
Her legacy in this position will long be remembered by this community. Women2Women holds
a deep regard for her visionary work at RACC, her dedication to higher education for all, and her
perseverance to excellence. Dr. Weitz, we salute you!
This edition of our magazine is filled with so many topics relevant to today's woman. Check
out our re-cap of a recent program we hosted about the critical need for more women in public
office. It could be your time to run. We explore the topic of behavior and personality traits in a
piece focusing on StrengthsFinder... it may pique your interest in diving deeper to find out more
about what makes you tick!
Last, but certainly not least, check out our new column Lend a Hand. Beginning with this
issue, we will highlight the opportunities available to give back to organizations in Berks that are
working hard to make a difference in the lives of women and girls. We know how busy you are,
but let's remember this quote from Margaret Mead:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed,
it's the only thing that ever has."
All the best,

Karen Marsdale
