Continuing Education Credits/Professional CouncilsWomen with a variety of special interests may become part of a national council and affiliate on a national level with other members who share the same vocation. By participating within one of these councils, you will discover an additional context in which to meet new women in your profession with whom you can network and discuss matters of concern to you and to Hadassah.
