Join us for a thought provoking discussion on the challenges and rewards of finding a work-life balance with the demands of a professional career.  Panelists will include Maggie Brooks, Vice President at Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority and former Monroe County Executive; Jennifer Johnson, Morning News Anchor and Reporter at WHAM13-TV; and Cassandra Rich, partner in Boylan Code's Commercial Lending & Real Estate Group.

Each panelist will speak to one aspect of work-life balance as it relates directly to them.

• Jennifer Johnson will share her perspective as a working mom to a medically fragile child before she passed away and then share how she navigated balancing her needs while working through her grief.
• Maggie Brooks will talk about balancing her public life with her private life.
• Cassandra Rich will share the path she has chosen and the sacrifices she has made to pursue her career goals. 

Together, the panelists will be covering five topics relative to maintaining a work-life and allowing for questions throughout:

1. Managing your time
2. Enjoying weekends and vacation
3. Building in downtime into your schedule – taking time for you
4. Removing activities that add no value
5. Exercise and relaxation
