Panel Speaks to Students on Women in Leadership

Willimantic, Conn. – On Sept. 15 in the Student Center Theatre, a panel of six female leaders from different sectors of Connecticut’s workforce spoke to Eastern Connecticut State Univesity students about women in leadership. The event was a program of the nonprofit organization CT Humanities and sponsored by Eastern’s Women’s Center.

The panelists, shown above from left to right, included Maryam Elahi, CEO of the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut; Mae Flexer, state representative of the 44th Assembly District of Killingly and Plainfield; Christine Pina, vice president of institutional advancement at the University of Hartford; Camila Ross, president and co-founder of the Emerson Theatre Collaborative; Carolyn Treiss, executive director of the Permanent Commission on the Status of Women; and Jessica Carso, development director of CT Humanities.

Some of the topics discussed included the need for women to have role models that nurture them to become leaders; the challenge of balancing home life with work life and the need for both partners of adult relationships to share roles and responsibilities; the importance of supporting and encouraging each other to take risks and take on leadership roles; and the need for women to display confidence in the working world.
