What is Leadership America?

Recently, I have received some tweets ( @next_big_thing) and emails asking WHAT Leadership America is and WHO do we serve. Sometimes messages get muttled with current events and calendar dates that it is good to step back and remember why we are here.

Below are the "Five Ws and one H" of Leadership America:

WHO: Leadership America is one of the longest running national women's leadership programs in the world.

WHAT: Through three stand-alone session a year, we equip women leaders with the latest information and innovation for professional and personal growth and create an atmosphere of high-level immersion with other women leaders.

WHEN: Each class has three stand-alone session per year. The third session in 2009 will be held in Washington, D.C., October 11 - 13, and the addendum Beijing, China trip, October 13-24, 2009. (More information, click here)

WHERE: Three U.S. cities with an addendum international experience each year. Leadership America offices in Dallas, Texas, at The Women's Museum.

WHY: To foster the growth personally and professional of women leaders in the United States and to help bridge the gap of women in leaderships roles. (check out Catalyst study on women in leadership and board activites)

HOW: Leadership America ensures that participants receive valuable information on topics specific to each session. The conversational format allows class members to heavily interact with each speaker while encouraging participancts to asses the way they will apply the new information both professionally and personally.
