Conference - Leading From the Middle <br />Farrah-Marie has gotten together with a few other organizations who are <br />interested in coming together to start in the planning of this conference. The floor <br />was opened for suggestions on how the CSW could participate in this conference. <br /> <br /> 1, CSW could have a subcommittee comprising of four members to meet outside <br />of our meeting to discuss on how we would like to participate <br />2. CSW could not have a committee and not have an active part in the planning <br />process but may contribute in some other way <br /> <br />This conference would probably be on this island by the end of next fiscal year <br />(2014); by April or May, probably in Waikoloa. <br /> <br />The conference would focus on leading from the middle. Majority of women <br />spend most of their life in the middle. This would prepare them in reaching for the <br />top seats when these positions become available. How we deliver this message <br />of becoming a leader is important. <br /> <br />This conference may evolve into a series of conferences or workshops on the <br />topic of leadership. Anything that benefits the middle level employees would also <br />benefit the entry level. <br /> <br />If the committee decides not to participate, Farrah-Marie would be willing to bring <br />back information and share them with the committee. <br /> <br />UH Hilo’s College of Continuing Education and Community Service has <br />volunteered to take the lead role for coordinating the conference. Other interested <br />groups include the UH Hilo Women’s Center and the ARC of Kona. <br /> <br /> Farrah-Marie may be requesting approximately $300 for this conference. <br /> <br /> Mele suggested we should get involved especially if it’s on this island. <br /> <br /> Elena suggested bringing local women to this conference. <br /> <br /> Kim is very interested in participating in this conference. <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
