Leadership Development Conference
Empowering Professional Women for Executive Roles
The EMPOWER Summit is a one-day immersive, interactive leadership development opportunity designed to enhance the leadership skills of those marginalized because of their gender. All are welcome regardless of gender identity, presentation or sexuality. Current and aspiring leaders, and all those who mentor or sponsor them are invited to attend. EMPOWER is a product of the Joy McCann Professorship project of Dr. Tiffany Moore-Simas.
Background
Women clinicians and scientists bring unique perspectives, strengths, and opportunities to academic health centers. Women have yet to achieve leadership positions proportional to the numbers being trained. Leakages and blockages in the pipeline are numerous and multifactorial. According to the AAMC Faculty Engagement Survey, women might benefit from:
- Clear role expectations and advancement pathways
- Equitable and diverse workplaces
- Opportunities for development and advancement
Program Goals
- Develop women leaders through knowledge and skill acquisition necessary to lead confidently and competently.
- Create peer and leadership and mentorship networks to share perspective, expertise, and support -within and beyond the program.
