From the Layoff to the Onboarding: What Executives Need to Know to Navigate the Process
So, you're a victim of that dreaded corporate layoff. What does it take to land to your next job? Find out how to successfully navigate your way to that job and what to do when you reach that destination.

Please join Francine Gordon, CEO of FGordon Group and Chair of SDForum Tech Women as she covers the transition process itself. She will discuss the end-to-end process, from the layoff to the on-boarding, with specific ideas on what's challenging for senior executives, why it is different and more difficult now, and how executives can proactively manage through the process. You are sure to gain new insights, while also sharing your connections and expertise.

We hope you will join us in what is sure to be an interactive and engaging conversation.
