Providing Leadership Training and Support to Women in the University Sector
The severe underrepresentation of women in senior levels of leadership in the university sector, both within academic and professional roles, is an unresolved issue. WATTLE brings together women identified as potential leaders across the university sector to provide an intensive leadership and networking program that is designed, and run, by female academic and professional staff in the university sector. Such a bipartisan agreement between Australian universities is essential to address this problem. WATTLE is based on the highly successful New Zealand Women in Leadership Programme (NZWIL).
