Woodhull Institute's Young Women's Leadership Retreats
The Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research is partnering with the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership and Stanford's Women Community Center to offer one full scholarship to a Stanford University female student to participate in an Ethical Leadership workshop. We are also offering one full scholarship to a female professor in the faculty, who is also an affiliate of the Institute, to attend an intensive Writers' Retreat. Female staff at the university are also eligible to attend retreats and may apply STAP funds toward their registration fee with their supervisor's knowledge and approval.
Founded in 1998 by author Naomi Wolf and journalist Margot Magowan, The Woodhull Institute provides ethical leadership training and professional development for women. At the Young Women's Ethical Leadership Retreat, a team of committed professionals presents basic empowerment skills that prepare young women for leadership roles in their community and workplace. At the Writers' Retreat, professional authors, journalists, and freelancers provide writing instruction and one-on-one critique to participants to gain fundamental knowledge of Op-ed pieces, features, book proposals and pitching ideas.
Bay Area retreat dates in 2009 will be February 20-22 for the Writers' Retreat and September 11-13 for the Young Women's Ethical Leadership Retreat. The location will be at the The Institute for Noetic Sciences in Petaluma or at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove.
