Deliberate planning to advance women's leadership is the general theme
of this issue of NetworkNews. The articles in this issue show that
change is happening and women are moving forward; however, this change
comes deliberately and with the efforts of forward-thinking people
committed to change and to the advancement of women leaders. The efforts
of state networks—such as the progress toward rebuilding the Washington
State Network and the successes in advancing women leaders and network
building in Georgia—are highlighted. Finally, we have the success of a
university system promoting women leaders with the contribution
highlighting women’s success in the Minnesota State system of colleges
and universities.
