Events
1 Microsoft Adoption Fair Since 2007, the Microsoft Adoption group has hosted an Annual Adoption Fair in November, bringing multiple adoption and foster care agencies and resources onsite to share information and answer questions about their programs. Related seminars are offered throughout the day.
2 Bring Your Kids to Work Day Hosted annually by the Parents ERG, this event provides an opportunity for employees to expose our young students to what a parent or mentor in their lives does during the work day. It is a great opportunity to show them the value of their education, and provide them with an opportunity to share how they envision the future and begin steps toward their goals in a hands-on and interactive environment. It is always a fun-filled day at Microsoft! The kids can take advantage of learning more about Microsoft jobs, see cool product demos and Xbox games, as well as engage in other fun activities.
3 Washington State Fathers Network (WSFN) State Conference In October, Washington State Father’s Network invites dads across the state having children with special needs to join other great dads for an exciting, informative, insightful conference. The sessions are in direct response to dads’ requests, and can range from handling stress to Individualized Education Program (IEP) guidance. There are also a few favorite traditions, like the Fathers Panel, and Open Mic. It’s always a unique and powerful day.
