Women as Transformational Leaders: Gender
and Clear-Headed Leadership in Higher Education
Keynote Speaker: Venita Kelley, Ph.D., Founder of Kelley
Communications and Consulting
The 2009 WWHEL state conference topic is "Women as Transformational Leaders:
Gender and Clear-Headed Leadership in Higher Education." In her
keynote speech and subsequent workshop, Venita Kelley will show that women
are significant contributors at all levels and that when they engage in
transformational leadership they strengthen processes, strategic planning,
and institutions. In an interactive session on the first day of the
conference, Dr. Kelley will provide the constructs of a transformational
leadership model that women can begin using immediately to meet their own
leadership goals.
The Friday morning session will focus on women's
need to bring their leadership vision and best practices to the forefront in
their work and personal environments, including how to present oneself as a
leader in formal and informal ways while incorporating a communication skill
component.
