Creating Pipelines & Pathways - Increasing Female Executive Leadership by Strengthening Intercultural Relationships
Dr. Melissa Krull and Dr. Stacie Stanley
Have you ever walked away from an intercultural interaction shaking your head and wondering what just happened? Research indicates that women also serve as barriers toward increasing the number of females (especially females of color) in the Educational Leadership C-Suite. Rather than pointing out our crooked crowns, we need to lift one another up! Participants attending this session will leave with specific ideas for how women of all races can partner to advance the leadership careers of one another.
Males as Allies
Dr. Delores B. Lindsey (moderator), Mr. Willie Adams, Dr. Frank Hernandez and Dr. Randall B. Lindsey
Panel members will provide definitions and descriptions for mentoring and coaching female educational leaders. These male allies will share examples of what it means to have opportunities and responsibilities for action at every level to counter and disrupt biases and realities of gender inequities.
The Power of Networks & Sponsors
Dr. Rhoda Mhiripiri-Reed, Dr. Julie Vitale and Dr. Avis Williams
We’ve all heard of the good old boys club, but what does that mean for Female Executive Leadership? Securing a position in the C-Suite requires women to expand their networks and build a cadre of sponsors. Participants in this session will develop an understanding of the “why” for networking and hear from acting female Superintendents from across the U.S. about ways they have built influential networks to support their superintendency journey.
Lifting Ourselves Up and Taking Ourselves Beyond
Dr. Shana Henry and Dr. Trudy Arriaga
Link to Presenters Biographies
Examine, confront and overcome the barriers to career development for women. This session will assist us to remove the barriers and end the biases that hold women back. The power of our personal narratives will propel us to shift from the pitfalls that women leaders encounter on their career path to the support factors that help us to overcome the barriers to career attainment and beyond. It’s about time….it’s our time!
