If you, like so many characters in this year's One Read selection, are considering a career change, join Jay Sparks, entrepreneurship program coordinator at REDI, and a panel of people who have reinvented their working selves as they share personal experiences and practical advice for changing your professional path. Adults.

In this year's One Read selection "The Big Door Prize," a school principal leaves her administrative job to become a carpenter. A jazz musician takes up magic. A mayor contemplates becoming a cowboy. If you have ever considered a career change, or if you left an unsatisfying job during "the great resignation," then this discussion is for you. Jay Sparks, entrepreneurship program coordinator at REDI, will lead a discussion with panelists who have made career changes or reinvented their working selves in some way. Learn from their personal experiences and practical advice for changing your professional path.

Adults.
