Join us for our Women United Network Annual Symposium!

Change is rarely a straight line, especially for women balancing career goals, financial stability, and family responsibilities. This dynamic panel, hosted by Women United of United Way of York County, brings together real women who have navigated career pivots.

Through honest conversation, panelists will share how they:

• Took non-linear paths and redefined success on their own terms. 

• Maintained (and sometimes rebuilt) financial stability during times of transition. 

• Took risks, built resilience, and found the support they needed to keep going.

This conversation is not just about careers; it is about resilience, financial empowerment, and the kind of community that makes transformation possible.

Date: November 19, 2025

Time: 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Location: Country Club of York

Thank you to our event sponsors: WellSpan Health, CGA Law Firm, UPMC, McConkey, SAA Architects, and Periodontal & Implant Center of York.
