Are you self-employed—or considering starting your own practice?

 You may be exploring self-employment but feel unsure about everything involved in establishing and running a business. Perhaps you currently work for an organization where funding is unpredictable and are considering other ways to use your skills and experience. 

Whether you have worked independently for years or are just beginning to explore the possibility, join Wendy Lawson and Gregg Taylor for the launch of WCCDA’s new Self-Employed Practitioners Circle.

 This interactive virtual session will introduce the group and provide an opportunity to connect with other practitioners, discuss the realities of self-employment, and help shape future sessions.

 The group will offer opportunities to:

• Share challenges, experiences and successes

• Learn practical business and professional strategies

• Build connections with other practitioners

• Explore approaches to establishing, sustaining and growing an independent practice

• Suggest topics for future sessions

Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Time: 12:00–1:00 p.m. PT
Location: Virtual
Facilitators: Wendy Lawson and Gregg Taylor. 

Come learn about the new circle, meet fellow practitioners and share your ideas about how this community can best support self-employed practitioners.
