Many of our staff are very capable. They run households. Many staff are never given an opportunity to exercise their leadership for the good of the institution. It is a terrible waste of potential. The Michigan Agenda for Women, launched in 1994, raised the expectations of staff members regarding opportunities for women, according to Sims.
Women desire to play a larger role in their units and in the institution as a whole.
Sims notes that many women are long-time University employees and offer a number of benefits, including maturity, experience and expertise that younger employees might not have. As you mature, you don't care so much about how you look or what people think. CFW meetings are free and open to all. The forum will cover how individuals can focus on their personal resources to develop their leadership skills by developing communication skills and becoming pro-active in their careers.
