4/11 Work Smart Workshop - Sponsored by the APA-IL Diversity Committee

Updated: Jan 2, 2020


Women face a significant wage gap in the workplace – on average, women are paid just 80% of what men are paid. Women in Planning and Development (WP+D) in partnership with the American Association of University Women is offering Work Smart, a salary negotiation workshop designed to help women claim their full worth as a planning professional.

The APA-IL Diversity Committee is pleased to sponsor this workshop.
