All those that register, attend, and participate in the meeting will receive a $30 DoorDash gift card!

INTRODUCING MENTORING MOMENTS
Mentoring Moments provide focused opportunities for learning experiences without the time commitment of a full mentorship. Users connect for a single meeting to discuss relevant, timely topics. It's a perfect opportunity for those with busy schedules that still want to give back to the Familia as a mentor by sharing their relevant experience when needed, or for mentees to take advantage of the Familia’s diverse knowledge network.
HELP US HELP YOU WITH THE SHPE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
All SHPE members should have received a survey from "kimberlyd@shpe.org" by email via Survey Monkey on December 16 or 17 requesting your feedback about SHPE and how we can best meet your needs. If you haven't done so already, be sure your voice is heard by filling out this survey for us by January 31. If you haven't received it, please check your spam or junk folder. If you still cannot find it, please use the link below.
LATINXFACTOR: TRANSITIONING FROM A TECH ROLE TO MANAGEMENT

Participants will learn how to manage that type of transition and how to create a plan for a successful shift.
