1999 Center for Gender Equity Second Annual Leadership Symposium The UCSF Center for Gender Equity will present its Second Annual Women’s Conference, "Women Leaders: A Symposium for Women in University Settings," March 9 and 10, 2000 at the Cathedral Hill Hotel, 1101 Van Ness Ave. at Geary Boulevard, San Francisco. The two-day event includes a wide variety of workshops, speakers and networking events, as well as a Thursday evening reception honoring women in history. An addition this year is the "Galleria," a marketplace of artisans including an on-site bookstore. The symposium features 38 speakers covering three areas: Leadership, Communication and Personal Development. The three keynote speakers will be Chin-Ning Chu, author of Do Less, Achieve More and Thick Face Black Heart; Julianne Malveaux, syndicated columnist, economist and author of Sex, Lies and Stereotypes: Perspectives of a Mad Economist; and Pat Heim, author of the widely read Hard Ball for Women. A highlight of the conference will be a panel of top-level UC women who will share insights on what it takes to become a leader within the UC system. Titled "Power, Performance and Position: Strategies for Highly Effective Leadership," the panel includes UC Santa Cruz Chancellor M.R.C. Greenwood, UCLA Vice Chancellor Claudia Mitchell-Kernan, and UC Santa Barbara Vice Chancellor France Cordova. California Alumni Association President Irene Miura will act as moderator. Several session speakers will represent the University of California campuses including Jerlena Griffin, UC Berkeley, speaking on "Strategies Mother Never Taught You: Thriving in a Political Organization," Julia Armstrong-Zwart, UC Santa Cruz, on "Leading With Soul: Developing an Authentic Leadership Style," and Jacqueline Mimms, UC Riverside, on "It’s All About You and What You Want to Do." "This is the opportunity for women at all levels in the University system to meet, network and come away with a good grasp of what it takes to be successful at UC," said Amy Levine, PhD, conference chair and director of the UCSF Center for Gender Equity. Registration is required to attend the symposium. The cost to attend is $200 through January 14, $250 through March 3, and $300 on site.
