Section members may be interested in the announcement of the Leadership Excellence and Gender Symposium, hosted by the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University on March 28-30, 2016.

This is the Inaugural Leader Excellence Research Symposium organized by the Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence and the Krannert School of Management, among other partners.

The purpose of this symposium is to highlight cutting edge research and evidence-based practice regarding the creation and sustainment of
work–especially within the context of organizational, managerial, and occupational environments–that supports gender equality, leader excellence
and career success in organizations. More details regarding this interdisciplinary symposium can be found at:
