Dates: On-Going (Ends Mar 31, 2020)

In education, the teacher workforce is made up of over 76% women, yet only 30% of superintendents in New York State are women. The goal of The Council's Women's Initiative is to support our women leaders, identify women in education who have leadership potential and help those women to aspire to leadership roles. We encourage all our members (male and female) to support and cultivate the leadership potential of women in their organizations. Join us for an opportunity to support, promote and inspire women leaders. This program will address leadership issues related to women and will provide an opportunity for women to share stories, make connections, and network. Topics include building connections and confidence; leadership pathways; balance and wellness; and roundtable discussions. Questions? Contact Kelley Pratt, Program Associate, at kpratt@nyscoss.org or 518-694-4878. Continental Breakfast and Lunch are included.
