Clare Trembleau, supported by the SDF, will be launching the SDF Advancing Women’s Leadership Special Interest Group (AWLSIG) during the week celebrating International Women’s Day, week commencing 8th March 2021.
Special Interest Group – Advancing Women’s Leadership
The aim of the special interest group is to support Women in Higher Education at all levels through speakers, events and networking to share experiences and explore our leadership pathways. We want to create a community to encourage debate and reflection around the successes and challenges we encounter and empowering each other to reach our full potential.
This Advancing Women’s Leadership Special Interest Group is aimed at staff developers and staff within Higher Education institutions with an interest in making a difference. Its purpose is to provide SDF members with a regular mechanism to interactively share best practice for:
- challenging mindset
- strengthening skills
- enhancing opportunities for success
The focus of the SIG is on creating an online network moving forward for 2020/21 and beyond.
International Women’s Day Week
To mark International Women’s day the SDF have organised some additional events to support the launch of our SIG. We would love to see as many colleagues as possible joining us to network. In the spirit of collaborative working and equality we would encourage participation colleagues of all genders.
AWL Special Interest Group launch – Monday 8th March, 11:00 to 12:00
The SDF are excited to launch the Special Interest Group – Advancing Women’s Leadership, headlining the events to celebrate International Women’s Day from the 8th to 12th March. Come along and learn about how the group can support you as a Woman in Higher Education and have your say in the kinds of events you would like to see the group showcase.
#IamRemarkable workshop – Tuesday 9th March, 13:30 to 15:00
#IamRemarkable is a Google initiative empowering women and other underrepresented groups to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond.
In the spirit of challenging the social perception around self-promotion we are hosting a virtual #IamRemarkable workshop to empower everyone – women, underrepresented groups and allies.
