State Conference Description
As we know, this year has been filled with blessings as well as challenges in the world of higher education and beyond. Our Board of Directors, along with our Presidential Sponsor, Dr. Margaret Drugovich, President of Hartwick College has been working diligently to design this year’s conference which speaks to all women in higher education. We believe that the conversations we have between and among each other can be the most purposeful, meaningful and impactful way to make a difference for our future. But are we really honoring the diversity of those conversations and each other?
Our conference will kick off on April 5th at 5pm for a networking reception followed by a buffet dinner. If interested, make sure you register for both conference and dinner. Friday we will begin with an optional session of mindfulness at 7am, led by Dr. Kathy Merget, NYS Chair and Certified Health Coach.
(please see the conference schedule for complete details on events and times)
