Join us for our second Pacific Northwest Lupus & You event of the year, which will focus on "Managing Lupus at Work." We’ll discuss how to request workplace accommodations, review legal protections for people with lupus, and more. As employers continue to announce plans for returning to the office, you won’t want to miss this session!

Meet Our Speakers:

She worked in a fast-paced environment for most of her career and after 25 years with the same company, took a medical leave of absence, then left the company in July 2020. Because of lupus, she was no longer able to work at the same level and pace.
