WISE
What we learned…….Female Supervisors in support positions do
not have as large of a peer group as those in sworn supervisory positions.
We really do not know each other on a personal basis.
When we learn about each other on a personal basis we have a greater respect for each other.
When you break away from the daily grind and connect with your peers in a productive climate, you come back with a renewed spirit and feeling of support around you.
When you personalize your relationships, you are more willing to reach out to others when you or they need assistance.
