Going forward, one small change that I would like to propose is to make networking events more inclusive of working parents. Since becoming a mom, I have missed numerous before-work and after-work events because of “kid stuff.” But lunch is much easier (unexpected doctor’s appointments and school closures notwithstanding). I understand that not all events are suitable for lunch and everyone (including me!) loves a good happy hour event. However, if we could offer 25% of our work events at lunch, I know that many working moms and dads would be eager – and able – to attend!
