The ACE WNO is a network of women administrators, faculty, and staff from colleges and universities across the state that is dedicated to the professional advancement of women in higher education. The ACE WNO annual conference offers women the opportunity to reflect and focus on their talents, experiences, and goals while networking with women professionals from across the state. Our theme this year was “Together We Can”. Attendees learned how to lean into our networks for sources of sstrength, perseverance, and support while navigating a changed higher education landscape. Along the way, we gained insight and develop skills in mentoring, coaching, and sponsoring each other and ourselves. Our conference focused on three themes:
-Creating and sustaining systems of support (as mentors, coaches, and sponsors) for women leaders across academe
-Finding personal and professional strategies for navigation and perseverance in leadership
-Respecting the intersectionality of our identities as women and diverse leaders
