Women’s Leadership Incubator

UPDATE: MAY 2021

The Women’s Leadership Incubator was designed to serve as a launchpad, offering growth and support to the next, most diverse generation of K-16 school leaders.

Anchored by a commitment to transformative feminist leadership, the Incubator is focused on four pillars: psychology, management, self-reflection, and building networks.

Unfortunately, we must cancel the Women’s Leadership Incubator due to low enrollment. We are disappointed that we are unable to offer this important program.

Our commitment to elevating women leaders—to not just succeed within the current system but to transform it—remains strong. While we do not know when the Incubator will return, we will continue analyzing the needs of our community of educational leaders. In the meantime, recordings of last summer’s Feminist Fireside Chats are available for free on our site. We encourage you to stay connected with PLACE for future programs that address inequities.

Due to low enrollment, the 2021–22 Women’s Leadership Incubator is canceled. Subscribe below to stay connected and learn more about related upcoming programs.
