Women in Leadership Sponsors Book Read #5 for 2025-2026

“Therefore, because death stirs people to seek answers to important spiritual questions, it becomes the greatest servant of humanity, rather than its most feared enemy.”

Lord Krishna to Arjuna, Bhagavad Gita

Women in Leadership is sponsoring its fifth book read event scheduled to begin Wednesday, October 8, 2025.  This event is gender identity inclusive.

The book chosen by the group for discussion is That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour (2019) by Sunita Puri.

The format and time remain the same.  We will discuss the book over a 7 month period. The sessions will last 1.5 hours from 7 PM to 8:30 PM EST on the 2nd Wednesday of each month beginning October 8, 2025, and run through May 13, 2026 (no December session).

Dr. Puri invites us to walk with her through her “humble attempt to inspire tough but necessary conversations in hopes of easing the suffering associated with the silence around mortality. … Just as we strive for dignity and purpose throughout our lives, well before the light fades, we can bring this same dignity and purpose to our deaths, as we each journey into our own good night.”

Registration is open to all in the community (as well as guests outside CPSP) as we gain insight into the world of palliative care and those who live there.

Chapters may want to consider this event/book as an opportunity for professional development.

For more information and to register please contact Nancy Schaffer, Chairperson at nschaffer1@outlook.com.  A Zoom invite will be sent prior to each session. The registration deadline is September 5, 2025.
