WID President's Letters - By Yolanda F. Johnson

 

September 2021 - “Fall”ing into What’s to Come

 
 
 

Welcome to the Fall season and with it, the start of WID’s full program year! As we look forward to all that autumn brings, from preparing for the holidays and apple picking to pumpkin everything, I wish the WID community a very happy National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 - October 15.

There's also exciting news ahead as we continue to unveil details about this year’s incredible programming schedule! The famed WID Bundle is once again available so, you can enjoy all that we have to offer at a deep discount.

Along with the fall season comes launching into back to school, and for many this year, back to the office. This looks different for many people, and WID board member, Jill Slattery, shares her story below. I specifically invited Jill to share her experience because for the past few years many of us have lived vicariously through her travels around the country and the world! But it’s nice to come home and, where possible, find the silver linings even in difficult situations such as the pandemic.

I also hope you enjoy our Member Spotlight, with the very talented Judith Pineiro who has contributed so much to the visual arts field. WID has a rich community of talented leaders and I think you’ll be inspired by her profile.

There’s so much to come and WID is ready to jump into the new season with you. While we are still in an uncertain environment, what we know for sure is that, as we hopefully continue to progress towards things getting even closer to normal, the WID community remains steadfast in its mission to empower you to succeed.


Onward, Upward, Forward,

-Yolanda
