I am beyond excited to introduce, LeadHERship! LeadHERship is an initiative that will provide support, resources, community and more for women within MACUHO. LeadHERship kicked off in March 2022 with a one-day retreat and professional development opportunity. This year, LeadHERship will take place on Saturday, March 2 from 9 AM - 5 PM at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA.
LeadHERship was created and implemented to bring MACUHO women together in community to talk about the challenges and opportunities of being a woman, not only in Higher Education, but housing, residence life and operations.
“Amazing things happen when women help other women” (Kasia Gospos). While the drive for growing one’s own career goals may be present, women are often faced with pressures and stereotypes that sometimes get in the way of applying for the job, being authentic in the workplace and advocating for themselves. LeadHERship will provide opportunities for women to come together to share their journeys and career trajectories. LeadHERship will provide space for women to share how professional relationships have shaped their professional success and helped them better contribute to the field and become better leaders. Participants of LeadHERship will engage in activities that will enhance their ability to network and make connections within MACUHO. It is my hope that LeadHERship will inspire woman to make connections, serve as mentors, give back to our profession and overall help individuals align their personal and professional desires.
