The Leatherby Center for Entrepreneurship is proud to be a sponsor of the Women Rising Leadership Academy, a women’s workforce development program. The mission of Women Rising Leadership Academy is to explore the challenges that cause the under-representation of women within top leadership positions and to offer creative, actionable and proven solutions.
The program helps working women to overcome the internal and external barriers to their advancement into top leadership positions. The Academy is offered at no cost to participants or their employers, other than a small, $50 registration fee. Many universities offer women’s leadership programs that cost up to $6,000, so we are proud to make this free!
