African American Women in Leadership: Strategies for Success

Increasingly, African American Women in the public and private sector are assuming positions of leadership only to find themselves battling issues of race and gender that may potentially undermine their role and authority. Too often, stereotypes of the bossy, aggressive, "angry black woman" affect how African American women see themselves and how they relate to each other, resulting in feelings of isolation, defensiveness and mistrust.

In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to explore issues of leadership, competition and power amongst ourselves and with others in the workplace. We will discuess ways to leverage our personal strengths, learn from each other's experiences, and build dynamic support systems with other African American Women.
