Strategic Leadership Institute for Experienced Women Educators

NCGS is proud to offer the third NCGS Strategic Leadership Institute for Experienced Women Educators, an innovative professional development opportunity sponsored by NCGS and delivered by the Simmons School of Management, the only all-women MBA program in the country.

 

This year, the Institute is opened to experienced women educators in independent schools and not reserved as an NCGS-only opportunity. This intensive, interactive program will fortify leadership skills, fine-tune strategic thinking and acting, apply the MBA planning model to mission-based financial planning, negotiation, branding/marketing, bottom-line accountability. The women's-only learning environment will provide you with a unique opportunity to learn from, and engage with, other senior-level women school leaders and to be challenged by graduate school faculty - each of whom has impressive credentials and expertise in fields relevant to leadership in both the business and education sector.

 

Deadline for application is September 10, 2008.  Don't miss this professional, one-of-a-kind opportunity.  To learn more about the program, its faculty, and to apply, visit the Simmons' registration page.
