A Professional Development Series Event
In Partnership with Queen's Bench Bar Association

"Customizing Career Paths to Address Today's Nontraditional Workforce"

Sweeping changes in the way we work, live, and build careers are not just on the horizon; they are here, and here to stay. Knowledge professionals - who are in ever-decreasing supply and ever-increasing demand - are redefining what it means to build a career, and the distinction between work and life is becoming increasing blurred.

Sydney Firestone and Sonya Murphy will describe the mass career customization framework and how Deloitte is using it to manage the transition from the corporate ladder model of career progression to a corporate lattice model. The corporate lattice organization recognizes that increasingly, the career journey of knowledge workers will be a journey of climbs, lateral moves, and planned descents.

Please join us on April 30th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Charles Schwab & Company in San Francisco to learn:
     * How the proverbial corporate ladder is evolving into a corporate lattice,
     * How business leaders who recognize the effects of these workforce trends
       can gain competitive edge, and
     * How career customization increases employee job satisfaction and creates
       long-term relationships with high-performing employees.

Before the program, we will network with members of the Queen's Bench Bar Association of the Bay Area. Queen's Bench was formed in 1921 by a group of women lawyers frustrated by the resistance of male lawyers to their participation in the local bar association. Queen's Bench seeks to advance the interests of women in law and society, and plays an integral part in furthering the progress of women in the legal profession.
