WEL SYMPOSIUM
Women in Educational Leadership (WEL) Symposium
Bungee Jumping Through the Pitfalls of the Pandemic
Facilitated By Dr. LaFaye Platter & Dr. Suzette Lovely
A Live Zoom Learning Event
After two long years, we’re still in the throes of leadership whiplash. An evolving virus, ever-changing requirements for
schools and public backlash has left us exhausted, skeptical and questioning if we’ve chosen the right profession. The
Spring WEL Symposium will focus on rebounding from setbacks, personal resilience, and developing ‘thriver’ traits in
ourselves and our students.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS COHORTS
“The energy the presenters had motivated me to continue to know my WHY for what I do. I loved that we were able to network with individuals from other districts.”
“The importance of cultivating more female friendships and mentorships- I wasn’t seeking that out prior, but during this time, I REALLY needed some support, and I am glad I took the time to participate in the WEL series.”
“This was an amazing experience, one that I will forever value. I am excited to put into action everything that I learned.”
“WEL taught me that I do not have to be the ?perfect female administrator.? I now know there is no such thing ? who I am and what I bring to the table is exactly what is needed.”
“Each session was motivating and empowering. I can’t wait to continue to work with the network.”
