TTN News

This isn’t about politics. It’s about us. Was it only a week ago that Michelle Obama reminded us of our right to respect and dignity? In this era of information coming at us 24/7, it feels like weeks, not days, since she challenged us to refute bigotry and realize that we have knowledge, we have a voice, we have power.

Ronni Sandroff, an award-winning writer and editor, explores innovations in housing options encouraged by TTN chapters.

Serving as facilitator of the first-ever TTN Telephone-Based Peer Group, back in September 2007, which connects women from the east coast to the west coast (from LA to CT), continues to be a pleasure and a wonderful work-in-progress. The group continues to provide a positive and helpful atmosphere and it is truly a support system for women in transition and moving into, or in, the retirement phase of their lives.

Graduates of all ages are facing transitions as they matriculate to the next grade or leave the nest of academia and enter the world to follow their passions. Sheryl Sandberg's personal connection to her message makes this a memorable commencement for U-Cal Berkeley students. It may resonate with you too.

This is a milestone year for TTN. We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of four of our chapters and the birth of our 13th community of women "50 and forward." It seems to be a great time to think about the value of being a national organization, and the importance of building a culture of support and collaboration among our chapters as well as our members.
