Women Leaders Brown Bag Series
Thursday, September 19 , 12:00 pm – 12:50 pm CDT
Topic #1: The Current State of Affairs for Women Leaders
Discussion: Contents of the Women in the Workplace 2023 report.
These bring-your-own-lunch events aim to explore the achievements and challenges faced by women in leadership roles across various sectors, while highlighting those faced by female-presenting administrators in higher education.
Despite progress in recent decades, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions. This series aims to address this ongoing disparity by providing role models for aspiring women leaders and creating a platform to discuss the unique challenges women face in leadership roles. Through these sessions, participants will explore strategies for overcoming gender-based barriers, engaging in valuable networking opportunities, and advocating for women in leadership roles. The goal of this series is to empower and equip women and allies with the tools and support needed to excel in leadership positions by bringing these crucial issues to the forefront.
All members of the University community are welcome to attend and contribute to these important conversations. You do not need to be a woman or someone with a position of authority to attend these sessions.
Please contact Sue Hildebrandt (shildeb@IllinoisState.edu) with any questions and visit the Provost Office website for more information about each session.
