The Vermont Women in Higher Education 2017 Spring Conference will take place March 23-24, 2017, at Killington Grand Resort. The theme for this year’s conference is “Strong Women, Strong World!”
The Board is currently seeking potential presenters for workshop sessions on Friday, March 24th. Proposals are due no later than December 1, 2016, and acceptance notices will be sent on or around December 21, 2016.
There are many ways to interpret this theme, but submissions
that address the following will receive the highest consideration
1. Professional Development: the use of power in the workplace, advocating for oneself, forging career pathways
2. Leadership Development: finding/being a mentor, embracing power in a good way, conflict resolution
3. Personal Finance: financial literacy, planning for retirement, understanding earning power
4. Well-being, Inspiration & Aspiration: work/life balance, how powerful women have succeeded, personal/professional sustainability
5. Skillset Toolbox: a skill or technique useful in the workplace–e.g., Excel, InDesign, Outlook; social media tools (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or perhaps building a social media engagement plan); event planning (how to pull off an event/meeting/conference of any size).
