Subject:                Young members leadership workshop August 25, 2016

Dear members,

We have the opportunity to offer a full day leadership workshop to aspiring leaders under the age of 40 at the 32^nd GWI Triennial Conference. The workshop will take place on August 25^th and be held for a limited number of 25 young women at the site of the Conference, in Cape Town.

The workshop will develop participants’ skills and understanding to operate effectively in their current environments, and examine what is needed for leadership, how their styles affect organisational development and their own reputation in the fields in which they are active.  The workshop will be highly participative and will be facilitated by an experienced external leader.

We invite all independent and federation and association members within the age bracket to apply, using the form attached.

GWI, thanks to sponsorship from VGIF, will contribute the Conference registration fee for successful applicants to attend, enabling them to attend the whole event, and depending on the number of applications may make a small contribution to travel expenses. GWI will not cover any other costs.

Please fill in the attached form and send it back to lm@graduatewomen.org by June 30.

Best regards,

GWI Office
