Working in the field of international education and being a parent requires a unique balance. Our jobs may have parents on the road for weeks or months throughout the year. Managing it all can be a challenge. Speak with others in the field as we share concerns, frustrations, and tips for working through these work/life balance challenges that come with working in this field! 

Join this upcoming Affinity Group discussion. Every one of us has unique insights and knowledge about this topic to share with the group. We welcome all parents to join us and learn, share, guide, and thrive!
