If we want more women in academic leadership, especially women of color, academia must bend—speak women's language, recruit women earlier in their career, retain them at their home institution, offer salary transparency, and recognize the unique challenges of leading while mothering. Women can do the job; make them want the job. In this session, a panel of women in leadership positions and preparing for leadership positions will explore the barriers and strategies to successfully recruit women into academic leadership positions.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the barriers to recruiting mid-career women into leadership positions
Explore how to develop an academic profile to best position oneself for leadership positions
List four strategies for successfully recruiting women into leadership positions
