W2W Leadership Initiative’s July Updates

WILMA’s Women to Watch Leadership Initiative has updates to share as we continue to work on the effort’s core mission of helping develop more women leaders in our area. Here’s what we’ve been up to with various W2W Leadership Initiative programs and what’s coming up next:

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE: Sheri Shaw, assistant dean for student success at UNCW’s CHHS; Donna Esteves, North America Regional Supply Chain Manager for Corning Incorporated; and Tracey Newkirk, Co-Founder of Genesis Block ILM speak to WILMA’s Leadership Institute. The session, about building resilience and leading through challenging times, took place at the Cameron Art Museum. The class met in June to discuss motivating teams and managing conflict, while July’s leadership training focuses on negotiation techniques. This year’s class meets monthly through December.
