Vancouver, WA -- Women’s leadership is transforming. YWCA Clark County is ensuring women will lead this transformation. YWCA’s Women’s Leadership Center (WLC) is excited to announce the fall workshop series is live and accepting registration.
WLC is searching for 100 women who are ready to engage in their dynamic workshop series. Workshops are led by game-changing facilitators including Jennifer Rhoads of The Community Foundation, City of Vancouver’s Chief Criminal Prosecutor Camara Banfield, and Dr. Jane Cote and Dr. Claire Latham of WSUV Carson School of Business.
2017 will be remembered, in part, as a year that women demanded to be heard. An unprecedented number of women both ran for and were elected to public office last year, and 2018 already has thousands of women preparing to run for government positions across the nation. This is an exciting development, and YWCA Clark County wants to be a part of this new wave of momentum. Yet while progress is being made, much work still needs to be made to achieve parity in leadership positions in both the public and private sectors.
YWCA Clark County strives for inclusivity and social justice at all levels of society and is uniquely positioned to support the advancement of women in Southwest Washington. Through mentorship, high-quality trainings, and workshops, women and female-identified individuals will develop leadership skills essential for success, self-confidence, and self-worth. They will be guided by a values-based philosophy that embraces equity, inclusion, and service.
YWCA Clark County encourages all women who are interested in empowering themselves to be bold, engaged, and dynamic to visit https://ywcaclarkcounty.org/wlc and register today for an upcoming workshop.
