TechLeaders: “Leadership Initiative Pilot Program”
| January 10, 2004 |
Los Angeles, California
In January of 2004 The Anita Borg Institute and IPAM (Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA) collaborated on a pilot leadership workshop for women holding senior positions in academia, industry, and government. Participants received validation, ideas, experiences and strategies, perspective, suggestions, inspiration, and reassurance. In addition, experts in areas important to attendees provided guidance about important leadership skills.
There were 48 attendees, 67% from academia and 21% from industry. Results from the breakout sessions which include challenges and best practices are posted and an article was written by the facilitator, Susan Owicki, in the Spiral Online Newsletter. The overwhelming response was extraordinarily positive.
