two distinct systemwide development programs for UC faculty and staff – the UC Executive Leadership Collaborative, designed for direct reports to a Dean or Vice Chancellor, and the UC Women’s Initiative (UC WI), which is a targeted professional development
program designed to prepare more women for advancement within UC. We are pleased to announce the opening of the nomination process for the 2024-2025 Systemwide UC Women’s Initiative for Professional Development. We anticipate that the call for nominations
for the Executive Leadership Collaborative will occur later this year.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:110%"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
