Academic Medicine Open Forum

I am thrilled to introduce @Penny Schnarrs, our new AAMC Community Program Manager. She will be responsible for managing (and growing!) the AAMC's virtual communities program (yes, the whole network!) and you'll be seeing her face a lot around the Open Forum Community. 

Penny returns to the AAMC after a decade hiatus. During her time away, she and her wife, Mel, and their dog, Riley, moved back to Pittsburgh so that Mel could become a fellowship program director at a children's hospital there. Penny most recently wrapped up a role at Highmark Health in internal communications, where she partnered closely with human resources, strategy, and executives to increase employee engagement, improve corporate communications, and use new tools and resources to create new ways of connecting and collaborating. She is also a part-time faculty member at Point Park University. Penny has spent her 20+ year career building meaningful connections to create positive impact and is excited to do so again at the AAMC and through this community. Ask Penny about pop culture, travel, theatre, fashion, Disney, restaurants, or self-care.

Fashion question - how will the work from home fashions change appropriate office wear?
