2022 Changing Faces Women’s Leadership Seminar
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!
DEADLINE: TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2022
Theme: Women as Innovators and Entrepreneurs
Dates: July 24 – August 6, 2022
Study Destinations: Oahu & Hawaii Island
The 2021-22 Changing Faces Women’s Leadership Seminar brought together ten women entrepreneurs for a 1-week virtual seminar, which took place July 25-31, 2021 AND will add another two to six women for a 12-day in-person, professional training, dialogue, and travel seminar scheduled July 24-August 6, 2022. The Changing Faces Women’s Leadership Seminar focuses on the vital role that innovation and entrepreneurship play in contributing to economic growth, job creation, and strengthening communities. During this 12-day professional training, dialogue, and travel seminar, participants engage in a series of workshops focused on leadership and entrepreneurship that are facilitated by a noted women’s leadership trainer and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Participants also expand their knowledge of entrepreneurship, economic growth, leadership, and community building through carefully selected field visits and meetings with experts, practitioners, business owners, and policymakers in Hawaii. Participants are individually matched with local women leaders in a Host Mentor Program and, in return, Changing Faces participants act as mentors for a select group of high school students in a Next Generation Service Project. The Changing Faces Seminar also provides training and consultative sessions to help participants develop and actualize a concrete Action Plan for the betterment of their business or their community. Finally Changing Faces women serve as panelists, moderators and attendees at the publicly ticketed #galswithLEI, a purposeful, collaborative, and dynamic forum.
