DEARBORN, Mich., March 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GTB, an industry-leading advertising and communications company, is hosting a Returnship Symposium on April 10 to elevate women professionals who have paused their careers and are now ready to reconnect with the industry. The one-day event will feature GTB's own Global Chief Operating Officer Kim Brink and 3% Movement Partner and Chief Operating Officer Lisen Stromberg among other industry professionals.

"We recognize that those re-entering the workforce often face unique obstacles," said GTB's Kim Brink. "We want to help talented women overcome these challenges by giving them the confidence and tools they need for a successful return to a rewarding career."

A symposium highlight will be author, journalist and diversity advocate Stromberg's keynote address on how trailblazing women are innovating for work/life integration.
