Following the Maintaining Momentum presentation, breakout discussion groups will be held. Group topics include:
- Parenting During a Pandemic: Maintaining balance while juggling parenting, employee, and professional roles.

Sister Societies are GWLN chapters established on a local level around the world to further the GWLN’s global mission by making a local impact. The purpose is to convene credit union women, discuss credit union issues, exchange ideas, network with neighboring credit union leaders, and provide education to share lessons learned with Network members worldwide. Anyone connected to a credit union is welcome to attend Sister Society events.
The fee to attend is $99 per person. Visit the League’s website to register.
