C.A.R.S. Turns ONE! A Celebration of Career Ownership

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The C.A.R.S. One-Year Celebration has been rescheduled to Saturday, September 26, from 11:30 AM–2:00 PM at Starbucks NEW DATE: SEPTEMBER 26 C.A.R.S. is Turning ONE! 🎉 One year ago, C.A.R.S. — Career Advancement & Readiness Support — began with a simple idea: create a welcoming space where professionals could come together to learn, connect, grow, and become more intentional about owning their careers. Now, it’s time to celebrate! Join us for a special one-year C.A.R.S. celebration as we reflect on the conversations, lessons, connections, and career growth we’ve experienced over the past year — and look ahead to what’s next. This won’t be our typical C.A.R.S. meeting. We’re making room for conversation, connection, reflection, and celebration. During our time together, we’ll: • Look back at some of the career lessons and themes we’ve explored throughout the year • Reflect on your own career growth, progress, and what you’ve learned along the way • Reconnect with members of the C.A.R.S. community and meet new people • Talk about what you need next as you continue navigating your career • Look ahead to the future of C.A.R.S. Whether you’ve been part of C.A.R.S. from the beginning, joined us somewhere along the way, or have been meaning to attend your first meeting, you are invited. And because you can’t celebrate a first birthday without cake...yes, there will be cake! 🎂 Come ready to connect, reflect, celebrate, and think about what’s next for your career. Own Your Career. Shape Your Future. Because careers don’t manage themselves. What is C.A.R.S.? C.A.R.S. — Career Advancement & Readiness Support — is a free career development community created to help professionals become more intentional about managing and owning their careers. Founded by Career Ownership Coach Kim Boyd, C.A.R.S. provides a welcoming space for professionals to connect, learn, share experiences, and have practical conversations about navigating today’s changing world of work. Each gathering explores topics that help you stay ready, relevant, and prepared for what’s next — whether you’re actively job searching, considering a career change, navigating an unexpected transition, or simply want to be more intentional about your career. C.A.R.S. is built around a simple belief: You shouldn’t wait for a career crisis to start paying attention to your career. There is no cost to participate. Just bring your questions, your experiences, and a willingness to invest a little time in YOU. Own Your Career. Shape Your Future. Because careers don’t manage themselves.
