VT:  Why is the topic of Career Re-entry important to you?
SF:  I have personally had to re-enter the workforce several times in my career.  As a single mom, I stayed home with my son for the first 5 years of his life.  He went to Kindergarten and I returned to work.  I have also been in transition due to down turns in business.  I pursued networking opportunities though not always in my comfort zone.  I met my current manager at a networking event and was able to connect with her on a level that transcended my resume.
