Women in Leadership

About Us

Women in Leadership workgroup was created to increase productivity, enhance collaboration, inspire organizational dedication, and uplift women in the Division of Student Affairs.

Activities & Goals:

  • Women in Leadership workgroup sends out weekly communications - Motivational Monday, Women Wednesday, and professional development information to the members via Microsoft Teams.
  • We also started the Brown Bag Series for 1-hour lunch & learn sessions for those attendees.

Co-leads will provide guidance and support to Women in Leadership by encouraging our colleges in the areas of diversity, business performance, role modeling, skills, and qualities. Creating a positive impact that benefits our workgroup is a top priority.
