2008 National LEAD Workshop
July 21-22, 2008
Seattle, Washington

After a competitive response to a Request for Proposal for
the 2009 LEAD workshop site, we are delighted to announce that the
2009 LEAD Workshop will be held in Fayetteville, Arkansas on
June 22-23, 2009!
Please check back for more information on the event. |
In these workshops, participants will:
 |
Learn practical strategies and tools to improve department culture and climate |
|
Explore unintended and unconscious biases that disproportionately impact women and underrepresented faculty |
|
Address important issues such as the recruitment and selection of faculty, the evaluaton of faculty performance, conflict resolution, and leadership |
|
Discuss case studies on faculty and departmental life |
These workshops are based on the University of Washington ADVANCE program's leadership workshop series and two national pilot workshops, which are focused on providing academic leaders with the skills and resources to address issues of professional development and department and university culture for all faculty. A pre-workshop mentoring-for-leadership event will also be offered to women faculty.
