The three-year program offers a variety of leadership development opportunities and resources that are intended to enhance the leadership abilities and to increase the representation of women in leadership positions in graduate theological schools in North America. The Women in Leadership program sponsors a three-day conference each fall in which participants will have the opportunity to benefit from focused leadership education events, information sharing, mentoring relationships, networking opportunities, and skill development in identified administrative areas.
Participation is determined through an application and selection process.
Separate announcements and invitations to apply will be issued each year for each program component. Each conference will address topics such as effective leadership styles, community building, and the possibilities and challenges of leadership. Participants will be women with a range of experience in theological education or other areas of church or educational leadership. A new group of participants will be selected in each program year. The cost of the conferences, including travel and accommodations for the participants, is provided by the program.
