Fireside Chat with Beth Simermeyer & Debra Bass: Creating a Portfolio Career

Determining the second career path can be challenging, especially if you want more control over your work and schedule. Creating a portfolio career that gives you the ability to do what you want and the flexibility that you need in your life might be the answer for you.
Debra and Beth will discuss how to create a Portfolio Career. They want to shine a light on another pathway for careers that may consist of consulting, board work, advisory councils in the public, private and non-profit worlds. Through their discussion they will help others learn about why this is a good option for a career path and how to intentionally create a portfolio career.
