The Transition Network

www.thetransitionnetwork.org/chapters/chapters-ttn/chapters-philadelphia/

The Transition Network is an inclusive community of professional women, 50 and forward, whose changing life situations lead them to seek new connections, resources, and opportunities. TTN envisions life as a series of transitions – from active parent to empty-nester… family member to caregiver… employee to entrepreneur, volunteer or retiree… who we are now to who we want to be next.   Through programs, events and small peer group interactions, TTN women inspire and support each other as we continue a life of learning, engagement, and leadership.  Together, we move forward and embrace the changes to come. As a national organization, TTN is a relevant voice for women who continue to change the rules.

TNN has chapters in New York and Philadelphia and twelve other cities. There is a Mercer/Bucks peer group affiliated with the Philadelphia chapter. For information, go to www.thetransitionnetwork.org/chapters/chapters-ttn/chapters-philadelphia/
