The 24th annual WILD Summer Institute will take place at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, June 18-20, 2010. Online registration is closed. Please call 617-426-0520.
Leadership Workshops
Choose from two levels of leadership workshops. Leadership A, for women new to leadership or to WILD, will explore the definition of leadership and the barriers women face in becoming leaders. Each participant will develop an assessment of her leadership skills, identify some personal leadership goals and learn tools to meet those goals.
In Leadership B, for those who have attended Leadership A or are more experienced leaders, each participant will reflect on their own experiences as activists and leaders, apply lessons to developing leadership in others, and explore issues of accountability and power.
