UC Women’s Forum on Staff Career Advancement

Employees are invited to share their thoughts on the advancement of women staff at Berkeley Lab during a forum on Tuesday, Sept. 18, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Perseverance Hall. Dessert will be provided.

The forum will look at these questions: What does it take to succeed at Berkeley Lab? What are some best practices already in place? What more is needed?

Associate President Linda Williams and Presidential Staff Fellow Amy Levine from UC Office of the President, are visiting all the UC campuses, UCOP and labs to solicit ideas and collect information on innovative local programs that address the challenges faced by women at UC.

This project is part of a system-wide Creating Change Initiative geared toward UC women that develops a strategic platform focused on addressing the career advancement of women in the University of California.  The purpose of the visits is to gather information on current practices regarding advancing the professional career development of UC’s women, determine which practices can be replicated and assess whether a system-wide approach to these issues would be useful.

RSVP by visiting http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/president/campusvisits.html and check the boxes that say "LBNL" and "staff" by Sept. 14.
