Keeping the Plant Alive: Women in Optometry and Work Life Integration
Please join Dr. Alicia Feis and Dr. Millicent Knight for a panel discussion focused on the challenges that come with being a woman in leadership, male dominated spaces, and work life integration. This half-day program will take place on April 7
th from 12:00 - 5:00 PM in Fort Worth, TX, followed by a joint reception with the OELI participants. You may register for either program individually, or both programs
using this link. If you have any questions please contact Mollie Mills (
MMills@opted.org) or Jennifer Rubin (
JRubin@opted.org).
The goal of the OELI is to strengthen leadership competencies of accomplished senior-level faculty and administrators who have either expressed interest in assuming expanded leadership responsibilities or have been identified as emerging leaders within optometric education. Recently appointed administrators, especially those who may be experienced in the field of Optometry but are relatively new to optometric education, are also encouraged to register.
Besides active learning in a nurturing environment, the program is comprised of formal presentations, workshops, case studies, and shared activities in the areas of leadership and management. The program also provides participants with an opportunity to bond and establish an alumni network of supportive colleagues that would continue beyond the event while using the Harvard University's "Step-Back Consulting" methodology. This program will take place April 7th-9th in Fort Worth, TX. You may register for the program
using this link. Please reach out to OELI Subcommittee Chair, Erik Mothersbaugh (
emothersbaugh@ico.edu) for questions about the program, content, and speakers.
