San Francisco, Calif., January 22, 2007-  Flexperience®, a Bay-Area based boutique staffing firm is hosting its inaugural event for working mothers on February 6, 2007 at Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, CA.

“Every time we tell someone new about our business model, the first thing they tell us is “it’s about time,” said Sally Thornton, president and co-founder of Flexperience®.  “The theme of our February event is ‘Mothers + Corporate Leaders = New Formulas for Success.’  Our event is geared towards mothers who are experienced professionals, whether they are working now or have taken a sabbatical to be with their family.  The event will be an unique opportunity to socialize with other working mothers who all want to know the truth about having a professionally rewarding career while taking care of their family on their own terms.”
