A Conference Celebrating 30 years of Title IX
Leadership in a New Environment: Holding the Doors Open
Friday, November 1, 2002

The passage of Title IX changed the educational landscape in the United
States. The leadership that created change and opened doors for those
previously denied entry was strong, innovative, and far-reaching. The 30th
anniversary of Title IX is a perfect time to celebrate past achievements
and to look to the future for gender equity. This conference seeks to
address the continuing need for educational leadership in times of change
and challenges.
Join us for an exciting day of speakers and workshops. Among the keynote
speakers are:
Deborah Brake, Esq, University of Pittsburgh Law School

Some workshop topics are: Athletics, Diversity and Ethics, Diversity in
Educational Leadership, and Generational Experiences.
