By Judith, on January 20th, 2012  The Central Region hosted a women’s business lunch conversation on December 15th to celebrate the stories of women entrepreneurs, business owners, educational leaders, and corporate professionals who offered their insights into the Power of Networking. Several of us served as “conversation starters’ to start the discussion by sharing our own personal experiences with networking: Mary Ellen Zuckerman [Dean, School of Business at Ithaca College], Jean McPheeters [President, Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce], Rachel Reuben [Associate Vice President, Marketing & Communications at Ithaca College] and Kristen Ford [Director, New Business Development for Corporate & Foundation Relations, Cornell University & Board Member of the ACE/OWHE NYS Women’s Network]. Kristen Ford, the Central Region Regional Coordinator for NYS ACENET, started the lunch with an introduction of the NYS ACENET Women’s Network Organization – and has since received expressions of interest to attend future meetings from those who attended.

By lindas, on July 18th, 2011 “The goal of ACE’s Office of Women in Higher Education, for nearly 40 years, has been to increase the number of senior-level women in higher education. Members of the OWHE Executive Board, work with the State Networks to expand the pool of qualified candidates. We accomplish this together by identifying and developing talented women, who have potential as leaders at the highest levels of higher education administration. We do this with the support of presidential sponsors and institutional representatives as well as by linking the state networks with the resources of the national offices of ACE.”
By lindas, on July 2nd, 2011 Over 90 individuals attended the annual NYS Conference of the American Council on Education Office of Women in Higher Education, held on the Russell Sage Campus in Troy, New York. The theme, “Weaving the Threads off Women’s Leadership in Higher Education” was well supported by sessions focused on topics such as “Journey to the Top of the Ladder: Essential Leadership Qualities for Women in Higher Education,” presented by Patricia Burlaud, ACE/OWHE NY State Coordinator. After the welcome and opening remarks by Dr. Susan Scrimshaw, President, The Sage Colleges and Dr. Kimberly Cline, President, Mercy College, participants had an opportunity to network and meet members from the NYS regions. The next day, the keynote speaker, Dr. Nancy Zimpher, Chancellor, SUNY, gave an inspiring and motivational speech on leadership, focusing on her personal leadership style. This was followed by a Panel of Presidents: Dr Kimberley Cline, Mercy College, Sr. Margaret Carney, St. Bonaventure University, Dr. Margaret Drugovich, Hartwick College, Dr. Susan Scrimshaw, The Sage Colleges and Dr. Cynthia Zane, Hilbert College. Each shared their perspectives on leadsership at their respective campuses and also provided personal insights on their backgrounds and appointments as college presidents. For the remainder of the day, there were concurrent sessions and closing remarks. The conference was a success and those who attended are looking forward to next year’s annual event.
