As a part of the Women@Darden Initiative, Darden will host its inaugural Women in Leadership Summit on Friday, September 23 at the Rosslyn grounds. This event will bring together promising female leaders, students, alumni and faculty in the D.C. area for a day of leadership development and learning from prominent business, public service and non-profit leaders. Faculty will present some of our breakthrough research and work on leadership and the unique challenges women face in the workplace. We will be presenting two new awards at the Summit, which will recognize a prominent female leader and a recent Darden graduate. We are accepting nominations for both. Please see below for criteria.
