About [Edit]
The Global Women's Leadership Network at Santa Clara University is building an international network of women leaders. We empower those who dare to transform their organizations, their communities, and the world. Our programs cultivate international leaders and establish worldwide connections that will support their success. Through these women, we touch the lives of many more.The Global Women's Leadership Network is unique in the arena of women's leadership development. The Network is focused not only on providing programs to develop international leaders but also on fostering the connections that will enable their success.
* Brings together women leaders from multiple sectors - business, government, civil society organizations, and academia
* Provides the education, resources, and networks that enable them build on each others and their own success
* Teaches global leadership skills, including an ethos of global citizenship and shared accountability for the future of our world
* Fosters breakthrough thinking as a first step in creating breakthrough results
* Develops the complementary skills of vision and action planning, to initiate powerful directions for corporations, non-profit institutes, government agencies, and individual entrepreneurs
The Global Women's Leadership Network supports women leaders at the forefront of closing the Global Gender Gap in five critical areas: economic participation, economic opportunity, political empowerment, educational attainment and health and well-being.
Last week I was privileged to attend the women's empowerment conference of the World Federation of Engineering Organization's in Tunis, Tunisia. It was an inspiring event, demonstrating that there is truly an international movement to move women into leadership postions. This is not an aim in itself. Instead it is on behalf of solving some of our most challenging problems such as poverty, sustainable energy, etc.
To see these women from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the U.S. S. American, and Australia light up with the recognition that by creating strong international relationships and by focusing on bring women leaders to the fore, we can, indeed, have an impact far beyond what any of us individually have dreamed.
