Monthly Newsletter | November 2020
Greetings Members!
Fall is upon us and with lots of events happening leading up to the holiday season, we hope you are enjoying quality time at home with a cup of warm tea, delicious biscuits, and a good book or movie. First, we would like to thank Shannon Weber for hosting a workshop on Resilient Teams: Strategies for Challenging Times last month. We had over 85 members from WIT@UCSF and Women of UCSF Health attend and we received lots of positive feedback.
Additionally, in these unprecedented times, let us all remember to continue to practice self-care and be grateful for what we have. The leadership team appreciates all of you and we are truly grateful for having a community of strong and resilient women who cultivate such a positive environment.
Finally, if you haven’t joined our Team on Microsoft 365 yet, we encourage you to do so. By connecting with us, you will receive event announcements in between newsletters, and you can tap into the collective experience and wisdom of our members. Click the link HERE to join!
Power on!
WIT@UCSF Leadership Team
Ana Buenaventura, Kat Li, Sarah Ngo, Suria Sadat, & Alyssa Tecklenburg
