BLUF
This week’s roundup is stacked: new job listings that might just be your perfect fit, and events guaranteed to spark fresh ideas. Whether you're planning your next career move or craving a little inspiration, we've got a great list to start the journey.
Annual Conference Update!
Our venue partner dropped a bit of a surprise on us with an unexpected email letting us know their construction timeline had… shifted.
As a result, much to our disappointment, we’ll need to move the date of our upcoming conference. That said, we’re fully committed to bringing this event to life, whether it’s in the space we originally planned or a place that’s ready to welcome us with open arms. What matters most is creating a safe, fully prepared environment for everyone joining us.
We’ll be reaching out to confirmed speakers and ticket holders to help us identify a new date that works for as many of you as possible.
Thank you for rolling with this curveball alongside us. Your support, patience, and good humor mean the world, and we’re determined to make the wait well worth it.
Reminder that access is only open to #NatSecGirlSquad members and trusted community partners who bring intellectual rigor, meaningful engagement, and a commitment to our code of conduct. We work intentionally to protect the safety, privacy, and value of the experience for all who join us - so make sure your membership is up to date!
You can also find all information on our website - nsgscon.com.
