ACE Women's Network Partner
SCWHE is a partner of the American Council on Education Women’s Network, which provides the national direction for women’s leadership development and career advancement.
Annually conducted, this workshop creates a space for individuals who identify as women of color within South Carolina’s higher education institutions and organizations. It serves as a platform for these individuals to exchange inspiration and support, fostering a collaborative environment that contributes to their professional development.
In today’s increasingly competitive job market, where over 300,000 women have lost jobs since February 2025 (Velshi, 2025), being career-ready is essential. I want to help you optimize your potential, which is why I invite you to a session designed to sharpen your professional edge. Together, we will explore how to incorporate new tools and resources into your skillset and master the use of powerful tools you may already have. Let me help you prepare for and succeed in today’s professional landscape.
