Learn, Connect, Inspire.
The American Council on Education Women’s Network- Ohio (ACE WNO) invites you to submit a proposal for its 23rd annual conference.
The Conference will be hosted by Ohio University, and will be held virtually.
Conference sessions are intended to create opportunities for deep discussion and skill-building related to developing women, and to inform attendees on current higher education issues and trends. Practice-based proposals are especially encouraged.
The Conference theme encourages us to reflect on and celebrate strength, allyship, community, leadership, and inspiration for transformation. This theme is also intertwined with ACE’s goal of moving the needle to increase women’s representation in senior leadership positions.

Roundtable discussions should be guided by at least three questions, which should be included in your proposal, and may include a case study presented by facilitators.
Workshop (50 minutes): The workshop is an activity-based session in which an individual or group provides context and depth on the subject and then facilitates a discussion or experiential learning activity with attendees.
Note: Presenters are encouraged to leave time for Q&A near the close of their sessions.
