‘Much Acclaim’
“CUES RealTalk! debuted in 2022 to much acclaim; we’re excited to bring this series back to the industry to help further discussions on the topics that are sometimes hard to discuss, but no less important to work through,” said Dawn Abley, SVP/chief sales & member relations officer. “During CUES RealTalk!, Real Stories we’ll hear directly from some amazing women as they share their successes and triumphs when faced with issues such as burnout or navigating the waters as a double minority.
“CUES RealTalk! is free to everyone in the industry, CUES members and nonmembers alike,” continued Abley. “We feel these topics are just too important to hide behind a paywall.”
