Happy New Year!!
As we enter this new decade, TTN will be celebrating two exciting anniversaries. 2020 will mark 20 years since the founding of the TTN National organization, and also the 10th anniversary of the Atlanta Chapter! We have grown in size and influence, and there are now 3,100 active members in 14 chapters across the US. The Atlanta Chapter’s membership has grown to 80, and our goal is to attract 100 members by our 10th anniversary this summer.
As part of the organization’s growth and progress, we are taking a new look at who we are, refreshing our brand, and are looking forward to a new logo and new name, to be finalized in the Spring. TTN has solicited feedback from our membership throughout this process, and is working with a consulting group to make sure our messaging accurately reflects YOU and resonates with prospective new members. Stay tuned for more updates about this process and plans for our anniversary celebration later this year!!

We encourage you to bring friends, prospective members, and female acquaintances to any of our programs so they too can experience what TTN has to offer.
Keep in mind all events require a headcount days before the actual date. Please register as early as your schedule allows
. We consider all schedules and hope everyone will find an event that is convenient and sign up.

Guests can attend outings for a limited number of times.
Transition
Peer Groups
(TPGs)
are for women to share and learn from each other. While the groups are meant to create a supportive environment, be aware that any member of TTN can go to any Peer Group meeting with the exception of Cobb. We have them set up by location to make it easier for you to attend one closer to your home.
Only members should attend our Peer Group meetings.

Peer Group Meetings
To make it easier for the Peer Groups and new participants we would like you to contact JoAnne D'Aleo if you want to attend one of our groups. She will coordinate your attendance with the Peer Group.
|
|
Transition peer groups are informal, leaderless groups composed of 8-12 TTN members who meet on a monthly basis to engage in informal discussions. These groups provide a safe and supportive environment in which women may have thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to career or personal transitions.
Transition peer groups provide opportunities for connection, new friendships and mutually supportive exploration. The intention of these groups is for women to share and learn from each other, and while the groups are meant to create a supportive environment, they are neither support groups nor therapy groups and cannot substitute for professional help when a member may confront a personal life crisis and need special assistance.
Transition Peer Groups are a benefit of TTN membership.

Karin's own transition has been becoming single, after a divorce in 2008.She is the mom to two grown daughters and two grandchildren, all of whom she is able to see often. Her main hobby is singing!
