Calling all Women Leaders to Connect, Share, and Explore!  Attend this unique NIH Training Center Leadership Course

If you are a GS-13 or equivalent leader at NIH and seek an opportunity to meet, connect, and learn with and from other leaders, the NIH Training Center’s Women in Leadership: Strategies for Success series is an excellent opportunity for you.

Launched in 2016, the program is designed to help women NIH leaders develop their own vision, voice, leadership presence, and resilience. A DiSC assessment is included in the program, which offers insights on current leadership styles and behaviors as a foundation for self-awareness and future skills enhancement.

A unique component of the program is a half-day panel featuring women NIH Executives where panelists provide mentoring, guidance, and support to participants.

Approximately 300 women have experienced this program. Our 2022 panel includes:

  • Moderator: Captain Antoinette Jones, MSOD, RN, Patient Representative, NIH Clinical Center
  • Darla Hayes, Executive Officer and Associate Director for Management, NIH Office of the Director
  • Camille Hoover, Executive Officer and Associate Director for Management, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
  • Maryland Pao, M.D., Clinical Director, National Institute of Mental Health
  • Karen Parker, Ph.D., M.S.W., Director of the Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office, NIH Office of the Director

Here’s what NIH women leaders have shared with us about their experience in the course:

“I loved the opportunity to engage with women genuinely and honestly from a diverse range of offices across the NIH.”

“I enjoyed that it was a program by women and for women and the unique challenges we face.”

“I appreciate the wealth of experiences the panelists brought to the meeting and their willingness to be candid made this one of the best events I've attended in a long time.”
