Women Leaders Seminar Series

About the series

Launched in Summer 2020, this speaker series originated as a monthly event to explore the leadership journeys of women in global health, particularly in non-academic careers. We have reached over 1500 unique participants from 50+ countries. Given the virtual format of this series we are excited to invite trainees, early-, and mid-career professionals globally to these events.
