While women make up nearly half of the higher education workforce, they continue to be underrepresented—and underpaid—in organizational leadership roles. The goal of this conference is to bring current and aspiring executive leaders in higher education together to co-create knowledge and deepen your leadership skillset. This program is intentionally built upon Academic Impressions’ leadership model, which takes a holistic approach to leadership across four key dimensions: self-awareness and personal development, interpersonal leadership skills, team development, and leading at the organizational level. If you identify as a woman, are leading at a strategic level in higher education, are looking to deepen your leadership skillset in community with other women leaders, or you have already participated in our foundational Women’s Leadership Success in Higher Education Conference, this experience is for you. Highlights of the conference include:

Shared governance, structural barriers to change, and limited discretionary funding are just a few of the many reasons why making a meaningful impact can be hard to do. But it can be done, and current and future challenges demand that we have leaders who can make substantive—not incremental—change. Join us for a one-of-a-kind program that will help you to lead for the impact you desire. We’ll examine your leadership at a personal level, share strategies for building high-performing teams, and equip you with tools that you can use to align large groups around a new direction or vision. Optional Executive Coaching: For those who choose to add on our Executive Coaching package, you will receive 6 sessions of executive coaching and will be paired with a coach who has extensive experience in higher education.
