The notion that a person’s work skills become less valuable because she has chosen balance between work and family life is demeaning. She is just as valuable, just as smart, and will most likely be more appreciative for the opportunity to continue working at her previous skill level for the same pay and that is the core reason The Society for the Advancement of Women celebrates what Mom Corps founder and CEO Allison O’Kelly has done with her company,” said Jacobs.
(PRWEB) April 9, 2006 -- Atlanta-based companies The Society for the Advancement of Women and The Mom Corps announced today a strategic relationship to help grow the Society’s business development team for the June 3-4 conference in Atlanta, "The Evolution of Women."
“Working with Mom Corps allows us a direct connection to a first-rate community of credentialed, highly educated, and experienced professionals. They supply the talent only when we need it, as our workloads expand and contract, which greatly reduces our overhead while working with extremely skilled women” according to Nancy Jacobs, founder and Executive Director for The Society for the Advancement of Women.
“It’s a win-win situation with the added bonus of helping fulfill the needs of stay-at-home-parents which is directly in-line with The Society’s mission.

Just how much of a workforce is out there for hire? “Nearly one quarter of women with professional degrees are currently out of the workforce in this country, primarily due to inflexible working schedules,” said O’Kelly. “My goal is to provide parents and other professionals searching for work-life balance with career options that fit their needs.”
“The message to women used to be about success,” remarked Jacobs, “and through the Society’s research, we have found that it’s really about fulfillment which is exactly what Mom Corps puts into action.”
