Attention, educators! In celebration of the centennial birthday of Mrs. Betty Ford, the Gerald R. Ford Foundation is presenting a free, day-long professional development workshop for educators focused on women’s leadership. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of both the character and causes of Mrs. Ford as well as her contributions to women’s rights. Following a look back at the evolution of women’s leadership in this country over the last century, participants will hear from prominent women leaders in Michigan about their experiences, challenges, and advice for young women. During the workshop presented by the Center for American Women and Politics, attendees will learn strategies and activities designed to make women’s leadership visible in the classroom and to develop leadership skills in their own students.

Light breakfast and lunch included; Educators may apply for 5 SCECH hours ($6 fee for SCECH hours). Please note: This event is free but space is limited and registration is required, please click the link to register (responding to the Facebook event will not register you!)
