AFTER TENURE: WOMEN MATHEMATICIANS TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE

The AWM will hold a workshop (pending final funding approval) to prepare women, who have already established careers in the mathematical sciences, to become leaders in the profession. The target audience will be women who have been recently tenured at academic institutions or who are at a similar level in an industrial or government position. The workshop will bring together this audience with senior women who are leaders in the profession.

FORMAT: Leadership activities will include panels, informal discussions and "case studies". The panels and discussions will address issues concerning being a department chair or college administrator, being involved in the professional societies, being a research leader, and being an effective mentor. Mathematical activities will include expository talks.

WHERE AND WHEN: The workshop will be held at the University of Maryland, College Park, during the weekend of March 12-14, 2004.

ELIGIBILITY: Applicants must be women mathematicians with a work address in the USA. Preference will be given to women who have been recently tenured or who have an equivalent level of experience in an industrial or governmental position. The applicant's research must be in a field that is supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation.
