WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP
This event promises a wonderful gathering that will stimulate your curiosity about where your own leadership can be of most benefit and inspire you to offer it in service to the needs of this time. You can look forward to stories, music, poetry to inspire us to step forward as leaders.
MARGARET WHEATLEY speaker, consultant, author and co-founder of The BERKANA INSTITUTE
The Berkana Institute connects and supports pioneering, life-affirming leaders around the world who strengthen their communities by working with the wisdom and wealth already present in its people, traditions and environment.

We know that the leaders we need are already here. Sponsorship of this workshop by the Incarnate Word Foundation benefits the Berkana Institute.

Eligibility:
Open to all women artists who are 2009 members of the St. Louis chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art. Members may submit up to 2 pieces of work, however due to the number of entries received, space limitations, and the curator's/gallery director's discretion only one piece may be displayed.
