What is the Leadership and Women of Color Conference?

This leadership conference provides critical research, proven strategies and best practices for creating and sustaining authentic and ethical leadership. Private and public sector thought leaders, from multicultural communities, will explore the importance of civility in strengthening America, community by community, workforce by work force, and leader by leader. In doing so, the conference presents the case for “Building Civil Communities for Change” by examining:

• The importance of women in building and sustaining civil societies
  
• The influence of civility on public discourse and behaviors of individuals and groups

• The role of media in promoting and fostering civility
  
• How to leverage civility to strengthen and elevate the workplace
  
• Case studies demonstrating the power of civility in leadership

The Conference, organized by the Spelman College Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement (LEADS), is a positive environment for stimulating dialogue as well as a professional development opportunity for individuals and organizational teams. This Conference also engages and challenges participants to impact the quality of leadership around the world, particularly as it pertains to Women of Color and the diverse groups with whom they work and live.
