MURRIETA – On International Women’s Day, March 8, A Day in Her Shoes, an interactive, engaging, regional, recruiting event will be held in Murrieta, benefitting Oak Grove Center.
Bringing talented women together from across the Southern California region, the day is designed to foster exploration of employment, volunteer, and career opportunities they may have never considered. Science, engineering, hospitality, medical, culinary, agriculture, viniculture, public service, first responders, elected officials – all these careers provide different shoes and success paths. Figuring out which shoe fits and knowing where it will take you can be challenging, especially to young women, women considering a career change, returning to the workforce, or retired and looking for ways to share their time and talent. Bringing our region’s female talent together with our employers and community organizations is a winning formula. Proceeds will provide Oak Grove Center funding for education and career-related programs.
Three panels will be featured: Women in Science, Women in Politics, and Women in Public Safety. These expert panelists will be available for one-one one interaction, networking, and conversation. Time has been allocated throughout the program for mentorship pairing, exploration, and networking. As a key part of the program, the first Annual Resilient Award will be presented to Jennifer and Jordan Turpin, survivors of horrific child abuse and imprisonment in Perris, CA. This event is designed to be life changing, empowering, and inspiring.
A Day in Her Shoes event takes place on International Women’s Day, Friday, March 8, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Murrieta Hot Springs Conference Center, and will feature iconic women speakers and panelists, an interactive exhibit area featuring our best regional employers, hand selected mentors and vendors, mentorship pairing, inspiration, take-away materials and gifts that foster career exploration and potential, exploration, and life-changing experiences along with networking opportunities. Food and beverages will be provided by local restaurants and parking is free.
