Abstract

Dual  Career  Panel  Professionals  and  academicians  who  are  part  of  dual  career  families  face  additional  challenges.    This  panel  will  address  this  via  interactive  discussions  with  the  audience.    The  following  questions  will  be  used  to  structure  the  panel  discussion.       * What  are  your  biggest  challenges  on  a  daily  basis  and  what  is  your  advice  for   balancing  two  careers?       * Were  you  part  of  any  special  recruiting  or  hiring  due  to  your  dual  career  status?   Subsequently,  were  there  any  trailing  spousal  issues?   * Did  you  encounter  any  challenges  during  the  job  search  process?    Did  you  ever   have  to  work  in  separate  locations  to  meet  both  of  your  career  aspirations?   * How  do  you  balance  professional  obligations  such  as  conferences  with  your   partner?       * Were  you  and  your  partner  at  the  same  (or  different)  stages  in  your  careers?   What  challenges  arose  with  this?       * Did  you  and  your  partner  encounter  any  challenges  with  having  children?   * Did  tenure  /  promotion  related  timing  or  decisions  impact  your  professional   progression?   * Have  you  or  your  partner  ever  taken  a  sabbatical  to  another  location  and  how   did  you  manage  this?   * Did  administrative  opportunities  arise  for  you  or  your  partner  and  were  these  a   challenge?        For  all  topics,  panelist  will  provide  insight  from  their  own  experiences  as  well  as  offer  comments  on  effective  practices  they  have  observed.
