Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada (SWAAC) was founded in order to promote women in leadership positions in Universities, Colleges, and technical institutes across Canada. They do so through mentoring, information sharing, and networking. It is a membership based organization to which anyone in an administrative position is eligible to apply. SWAAC held its annual conference in Toronto on May 15, where it awarded recognition for the outstanding leadership activities of 5 female graduate students and 2 college graduates from institutions across the country. In such illustrious company, I was extremely humbled an honoured to receive a recognition award for leadership innovation.
