PSP Career Networking is an official off-shoot of the Park Slope Parents listserve. The group provides a supportive and active networking community for parents interested in: networking, changing careers, looking for work, going back to school, discussing work/life balance and offering employment or advice to other members.

"Meet greet" luncheons and mixers
Industry-specific meet-ups (editorial, non-profit, etc.)
Book launches panel discussions related to work-life balance and career change (e.g., "War on Moms" by Sharon Lerner)
"What's Next for Your Career?" Workshops with industry experts
