More on leadership!  It must be in the air . . . .

Last year, I blogged about the inaugural Women’s Leadership in Academia Conference.  It was an amazing event.  The second conference is just a few months away (July 18-19), and organizer Leslie Kendrick (Vice Dean and David H. Ibbeken ’71 Research Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law) recently circulated important information about the 2019 conference that I want to share here.

Specifically, she has encouraged folks to register and has offered three ways to engage with the conference at this juncture.  They are (and I am quoting her here):

Propose a panel: We’ve gotten some great proposals and would love to hear from you! The link for proposing a panel is on the website and here. Proposals are due by May 1.

Request a travel scholarship: If you could use financial assistance to defray the costs of attending the conference, please apply for a travel scholarship on the conference website or here. We’d love to hear from you. If at all possible, it would be helpful to receive requests by June 1.

Extend the welcome: Our mailing list includes attendees of our AALS events and last year’s conference, but we want to reach everyone possible. Please forward this information to friends and colleagues and disseminate it at your schools. We’d love to see everyone on July 18! 

Leslie has invited folks to contact her about the conference.  So, if you have any questions that the website does not answer, I suggest you send her a message or give her a call.  Regardless, I hope that you will consider attending and, if you are so inclined, suggesting a panel topic and speakers.
