The festive photo below is part of a promotion for a panel that I am moderating next month called “Life After a Layoff: Your Job Is History But You’re Not.”
You can hear more about it in a podcast interview (scroll down the page until you see me, but feel free to listen to others!). My session is part of a conference for LGBT journalists held in the nation’s capital — in an election year, hence the virtual bunting.
The conference host, the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA), is a fine industry organization that has boosted my career in many ways, especially through networking and the professional development offered at the annual conferences. On the strength of my experiences, I recommend everyone get involved in a professional organization associated with his/her field.
In the meantime, Happy Fourth of July!
