The Iowa Network for Women in Higher Education (IowaWHE) Annual Leadership Conference brings women together from all corners of the state to network and discuss the issues facing leaders in higher education today. The theme of the 2016 conference is “Preparing for Leadership Challenges.” What are some of the major challenges confronting higher education today? How do women leaders prepare themselves to meet those challenges? An outstanding panel of women leaders will share their insights and experiences on some of the issues so relevant for current and aspiring leaders. This year’s conference is being hosted by Iowa State University on April 8. More information can be found online.
