IN REMEMBRANCE
|
|
As many of you may already know, our beloved co-founder, Charlotte Frank, passed away last week.
Her life and her work were an inspiration to us all. She will remain in our hearts forever.
I look forward to seeing you on December 14th at the Annual Luncheon where we will remember her.
And, The NYC Chapter is planning a celebration of Charlotte's life for sometime after the holidays.
Warmest regards,
Eileen Kobrin

TTN NYC WOMEN IN THE NEWS | |
TTN and The Fortune Society Team Up
TTN professional volunteers are changing the lives of formerly incarcerated men and women. Since March 2014, TTN and the Fortune Society have collaborated on a volunteer project to provide important job-seeking skills to men and women with criminal records who wish to join the labor market.
The project was the brainchild of Betty P. Rauch, Fortune's Board Chair and Co-Chair of the TTN Marketing and Communications Committee, who worked with Eileen Kobrin, Chair of the NYC Chapter to put legs on this innovative idea.
The following article appeared in the Wall Street Journal on November 10th. Read More

TTN FAQs
Answers to TTN's most frequently asked questions.
1. I already have a lot of friends and belong to several organizations? Why should I join TTN? TTN is specifically organized to meet the needs of professional women 50+. You'll find new friends here who share many of your concerns and interests.
2. What kind of women can I expect to meet in TTN?Most TTN members are 60 or older (83%) and a big majority are retired or semi-retired, typically from professional/managerial positions. All have college or advanced degrees. About one-third of our members are still working full or part time or are self-employed. Over 60% live alone, with one-third married or living with a partner.
3. I'm somewhat shy. If I go to a TTN event, will it feel like I'm the only one who doesn't know anyone?
We make a huge effort to welcome new members and help them feel comfortable. When you arrive, please introduce yourself to the event organizer or one of the Committee members (usually wearing identifying nametags). They will introduce you to other members. Read More
