Awesome Professional Ladies (APL)

The “Awesome Professional Ladies” are a group of staff at the Johns Hopkins University - Applied Physics Laboratory with 0-4 years of work experience (typically an A1 staff classification). The group meets once a month, and currently targets issues commonly faced by staff coming straight from college (such as communicating with confidence). The goals of the circle are to gain the confidence to speak up when they feel uncomfortable, to become more polished at professional presentations/public speaking, and to develop peer networks within APL (especially for staff who are not originally local to MD). The group consists of both professional development meetings (like communicating with confidence) and social events (like pottery paint night).
