					YWA has created another way for you to develop professionally with a new program called,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;The Saturday Sessions&lt;/strong&gt;! This innovative, monthly, program will take a deep-dive into professional development skills, and target specific goals, so that YOU can walk away with the tools and guidance to better yourself in a much smaller and more intimate setting than our General Meetings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div&gt;
					&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div&gt;
					Have you ever waited in line after a General Meeting for a chance to talk to our speaker? Now, you won&#39;t have to!&amp;nbsp;This is your chance to create a relationship with a careerist who will provide advice and solutions that will impact your work/life.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If you have been a Member of YWA for awhile, and feel like you have done everything that YWA has to offer in your professional development, this program is for YOU!&lt;/div&gt;

				&lt;div&gt;
					&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;2.5 - 3 hours of rich content&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div&gt;
					&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;1x1 relationship with the speaker&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div&gt;
					&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Group activities&lt;/div&gt;

													&amp;ldquo;An organization can be an industry leader if it has great products, service and solutions, market rapport, expert positioning and strategic alliances. But to garner the trust of individuals and key audiences, leaders must tell their story or miss the opportunity for greatness. In this age of information overload, being heard is a challenge worth meeting.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;
											&lt;/td&gt;
										&lt;/tr&gt;
									&lt;/tbody&gt;

				&lt;strong&gt;Join us for our April Saturday Session: THE TIME MANAGEMENT MYTH!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
			&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 13px; &quot;&gt;
				&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;
					Saturday, April 21st from 9:00am - 11:30am&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;
					Location: Explore Austin&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div&gt;
					&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;div&gt;
					Our April Saturday Session is all about Time Management! Amber Fogarty, Partner and CMO of SOS Leadership Institute ,will help us understand the &amp;quot;Time Management Myth.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;Do you ever feel like there just aren&amp;rsquo;t enough hours in the day? Most of us feel that way on a daily basis. We have overflowing to do lists that often have more tasks on them at the end of the day than they did at the beginning. We sometimes feel overwhelmed and aren&amp;rsquo;t even sure how to spend the time we have.
					&lt;div&gt;
						&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
					Time is the great equalizer. We all have the exact same number of hours in a day. How can we make the most of our time? The idea that time can be &amp;ldquo;managed&amp;rdquo; is a myth. No matter what we do, we can&amp;rsquo;t change the amount of time we have, nor can we change how quickly or slowly time goes by. We can only manage ourselves and the choices we make with our time. This session will focus on improving your time habits, identifying your time thieves, and making time work for you. We&amp;rsquo;ll share valuable ideas and insights to help you protect your most valuable asset: your time.
					&lt;div&gt;
						&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
					&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
						&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Those who do not take time for relaxation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Register NOW - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-size: 13px; &quot;&gt;only TEN spots available&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; &quot;&gt;!
