Hi ladies,

Welcome to a brief summer reset issue no. 30 (!!!) of the WISSC newsletter, a combined June/July/August newsletter this time around, because, well, it’s summertime.

It’s hard to believe that nearly three years and 500 women since the first WISSC happy hour in August 2023, this grassroots community of women has organically evolved to include a LinkedIn group, a recognition by WISE DC and countless real industry relationships and friendships built around a shared passion for the power of sports.

What’s easier is to believe in believe, because Ted Lasso is back, also three years later. This time focused on women’s soccer! If you haven’t caught the new season yet, watch the official trailer here, with new episodes dropping on Wednesdays through October.

Speaking of Wednesday, please also save-the-date for Wednesday, September 9th, for our next WISSC happy hour, we’ll be back at Hotel Zena in Logan Circle in downtown Washington D.C. You can RSVP here, with more details to follow. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime, below is a quick reminder of 3 ways you can get involved with WISSC, with so much gratitude for all who've made this community what it is. We'll be back in September with 3 more things, until then.

Thanks, ​Mandy​

This month's 3 things:

1. In-person Happy Hours in DC: Our IRL community meetups continue in Washington D.C. every few months, please RSVP to join us on Sept. 9th, and spread the word, tell a friend!

2. Join our private LinkedIn group: Beyond DC, we have nearly 500 women from all over the world in our online private WISSC LinkedIn group, where I try to share job postings in real time, other women introduce themselves, pose questions, share invites to other events and more.

3. This newsletter - nominate a WISSC 'Woman of Wisdom': There are no shortage of incredible women in this community who I'd love to continue to give a platform to highlight, so please nominate someone (or yourself!) to be featured in a future monthly newsletter.
