Please consider joining us for the second Women and Leadership workshop for women-identified faculty and staff. The off-site retreat, co-hosted by the Provost’s Office and Women’s and Gender Studies will be led by Dr. Catalina D. Ressler, who will guide us through the Dare to Lead framework in a culturally competent discussion of leadership. We are welcoming a new cohort of participants, after launching the program this past spring.

The unique retreat experience will be held Friday, Sept. 30 from 12–4 p.m. in the beautiful setting provided by the Raccoon River Nature Park Lodge in West Des Moines. We are planning an intimate gathering of 20 participants, with refreshments provided by the local Gateway Market. We are able to offer $75 compensation for participation in this half-day workshop, as well as all retreat materials (e.g., book, personalized assessment/welcome letter).

Registration will open on Monday, Aug. 15, at 8 a.m. through Eventbrite and continues through Friday, Aug. 26, (or until event capacity has been reached). For questions, contact Jill Allen at jill.allen@drake.edu.
