Is it possible to have it all? Traditionally, the transient military lifestyle has limited the ability of military spouses to create and sustain a career path that meets their deepest goals, talents and aspirations. We believe that by leveraging today’s technology and employment trends, it is entirely possible to maintain a rewarding career within the framework and challenges of the military lifestyle. If you're a military spouse looking to connect with other spouses, then this is the group for …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

The Arlington Connections group grew from the Washington DC Connections group I run on LinkedIn. Currently we have almost 15k members in that group.
