BALANCED
LEADERSHIP: MAINTAINING PERSPECTIVE
Asian
American women often feel an extra sense of responsibility
toward the world around us, be it expectations from
family and work, and/or pressures from peers and ourselves.
ASPIRE explores the importance of achieving balance
throughout our lives in order to be professionally
and personally successful.
Speakers
at various stages of their lives and career paths
will share their experiences in developing and maintaining
balance. They will discuss how this balance leads
to continuous leadership development and professional
and personal success.
The
2008 Asian American Women in Leadership (AAWIL) Conference
will:
- Build upon last year’s theme of “Meaningful Leadership:
Shaping Our World”
- Gather cross-generational Asian American women
from across the continental US with diverse personal
and professional backgrounds to share their experiences
of “Balanced Leadership”
- Discuss the various aspects of continuous leadership
development to make lasting, positive changes in
our communities
- Celebrate and explore ways Asian American girls
and women exercise “Balanced Leadership” by leveraging
our personal unique identities and interest
