FROM THE AAWR PRESIDENT

Dear AAWR Members,

I was disappointed in the cancellation of our Dare to Lead Webinar co-sponsored with GE, and I am hopeful that it will be rescheduled. I was looking forward to learning how to succeed and lead through vulnerability. 

Personally, I have been feeling particularly vulnerable as I emerge from the pandemic, and this was exacerbated by my thirteen year-old being placed in a cast and a boot for bilateral stress fractures just as he was to return to in-person school for the first time in more than a year. That they were stress fractures seemed to fit the feeling that they elicited in me and, upon returning to work, I was mortified to realize that this President’s Address was overdue as a result. While I know that I am not alone in this feeling of vulnerability and its impact, how to navigate the dropped balls is an enduring question. In seeking the answer, I am consistently reminded of the value of the AAWR network. ~  Read More
