Women in Leadership 

AMISA

A Network of Learning and Leading for AMISA Women Educators

Welcome to the AMISA Women in Leadership Group! Our group aims to build a community of women leaders, both experienced and aspiring, within the AMISA region. We value women's unique contribution to leadership roles and aim to support women’s personal and professional growth through shared learning experiences within a safe space.

Our Five Areas of Focus
  • Fostering awareness about and support for women in leadership roles in international education and promoting inclusive models of leadership

  • Providing opportunities for learning effective leadership practices for women, exploring successful ways to address specific challenges that women experience, and making space for understanding diverse perspectives

  • Offering networking opportunities with successful women leaders and career mentorship for women

  • Offering a genuine space for all women to be seen, heard, represented, and uplifted, and amplifying women’s perspectives to a broader community

  • Building allies and partnerships who can contribute to and value our work

If you are a woman educator at an AMISA Member School, we invite you to join our group for a year of learning and networking together!
