Conference on Women's Leadership

Now HERE's a great-sounding conference, brought to my attention by my colleague, Teresa Collett.  An attempt to address the dearth of women in leadership positions?  And it's in Rome . . .  in June . . . Registration open until May 15.

From June 11-20, 2007, the Institute for Higher Studies on Women at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, in collaboration with the European University of Rome, will be presenting the summer course “Women’s Education and Leadership for a Better Society.”

Objective:To offer the elements necessary for fostering “feminine leadership” conducive to a society which promotes the dignity and integral development of every human being.

Program:The course consists of four seminars, which provide an international panorama of women’s reality and their opportunities to make a positive impact in their varied surroundings.
