Women's Forum

"In 1987, a small group of dedicated women planted and nurtured an idea for a University- wide women's network. Officially created in 1991, the Women's Forum was established of open discussion, creativity,  and collective problem solving. The roots of the Forum were deeply embedded in the hope that all UK employees would ... "find a fertile and equitable haven for their ideas energies and talents." Susan Stempel, a foundling Women's Forum Chair.

This year's forum was held on October 16. This year's conference theme was : UK Conference 2019 elevate, empower, encourage, engage. I  was humbled to be a part of a panel at this year's UK's Women's Forum.
