January - 2

Message from your 2023 Chapter President!



Happy New Year! This is a time of year for rebirth, for feeling refreshed after some time off (hopefully), and for looking upon new horizons. Here at the Golden Gate chapter, we are bringing in some new things too, as well as reviving some old things. For starters, we are bringing back in-person networking events through our meetup group. Check out our Meetup page for more information so you can connect with others!

I’m also very excited to announce the kickoff of our new Consultant List webpage, where you can get access to Golden Gate chapter members offering services in a variety of areas, or if you are a Golden Gate member who would like to promote your own services, check out if this page is something you should be a part of.

Last but definitely not least, we are kicking off our first-ever career transition series, which will include workshops and access to 1:1 coaching for those looking to make a career transition in 2023. These are just touching the surface of the programs and events we are planning for you. Keep providing your feedback and we hope to see you in 2023!
