Small Groups Within EWTG
Joining a Success Team is an excellent way to get to know other EWTG members. Success Teams meet on a regular basis, allowing members to gain knowledge, socialize, and develop professional and personal relationships. Success Teams are held in small group settings to create a comfortable atmosphere, allowing the discussion of professional topics of interest in a supportive and confidential setting. Some members develop lifelong friendships through their Success Teams. Each Success Team has a different focus – there is something for everyone!
