Women's Institute - 0 views

  • the Women's Institute will be in a growth process that will culminate in the launch of the Women's Leadership Center (WLC) in 2012.
  • The Women's Leadership Center (WLC) will be dedicated to our bedrock belief that women's leadership can and will change the world for the better. By training women to lead from their own authentic vision; encouraging women to develop both their inner spiritual strength and outward skillful action in the world; fostering a paradigm shift from control over others to partnership with others; and helping women develop the multiple human intelligences of mind, body, heart, and spirit, the Women's Leadership Center (WLC) will help support women in becoming important change agents for the 21st century.

    Just found this interesting. Having an urge to break from the time frame of study; I see this as where women find help and empowerment to make change and a difference.
