University women invited to apply for spot on leadership group
As of Aug. 1, women faculty and staff have the opportunity to apply for participation in the 2011-12 Women’s Leadership Development Institute cohort that will commence at a retreat planned for Sept. 29-30. Applications will be available at this link. Please return all applications to Campus Box #6255 by Sept. 1. Sheri Philips will continue to give leadership to the program.
The university’s first Women’s Leadership Development cohort concluded at a celebration for the program mentors and mentees in May. After attending the kick-off retreat in October, each cohort mentee met monthly with her mentor from October to May and attended five required leadership skills sessions.
Cohort mentees read several texts during the program and shared their learning on a WLDI Foxtale site. Mentees last year included Melissa Terry, Kathy Weiss, Audrey Williamson, Shelley Yonemura, Sondra Creason, Angela Wilson Henry and Brenda Burg.
Even though only a limited number can be accepted, please feel encouraged to apply.
