Welcome to the 2013 SWAAC Annual Conference

“Let me personally invite you to the 2013 Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada (SWAAC) Conference, to be held in Brandon, MB.  SWAAC is about many things – innovation, action and support – that ultimately brings us together for a common purpose; the exchange of ideas and the support of women leaders within Canadian universities and post-secondary institutions.  To my SWAAC colleagues, I welcome you to what will be another engaging conference involving top leaders in our nation’s post-secondary sector.  To those new members considering attending, I know that you will be both inspired and fulfilled by taking part.  Together, we grow stronger; developing our personal leadership skills, and mentoring senior managers and administrators of the future.  Together, our voice is clear, our abilities unmistakable.  Join me in Brandon, May 2-4.”

Warm regards,
Deborah
