APA Los Angeles is pleased to partner with Coro Southern California to present the inaugural Coro Women in Leadership (WIL) program.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, women are 47% of the workforce but still earn only 79% of what men earn and make up fewer than 1 in 3 chief executives. Now, more than ever, we need women leaders at the forefront to address pressing professional and civic challenges. Coro’s new Women in Leadership program supports the leadership development of women across Southern California, establishes a pipeline for professional advancement, and creates a cross-sector network of women who support each other’s career growth. The program will engage mid-career women of diverse backgrounds from the private, nonprofit, and government sectors for intensive leadership development seminars and post-fellowship networking.

Program Components

Women in Leadership meets for four, 2-day weekend sessions in March – April and requires a significant time commitment on Friday evenings, weekends and in between sessions. The program includes:

• Personal reflection leadership sessions
