ACE Womens Networking Conference at NCC

by Nancy Moreau, Professor of Education

The ACE Womens Networking Conference was held today at NCC. It was a packed house with female representing higher education throughout PA. The conference represents a support system for women who would like to move up in leadership positions in education. I noticed very few faculty in attendance, but that might be expected. One takeaway was that if you are around 45+ and looking for a greater leardership role, you may have to look elsewhere. Although schools are encouraged to provide growth opportunities to their staff, it may not be enough to land you the top position.

I remember a number of valuable staff members, both male and female, who have left NCC over the past few years and I wonder if NCC fosters growth opportunities as much as it should or could for our staff and our professors. Any thoughts?
