The panel will focus on issues frequently faced by women in the middle of their academic career. After receiving tenure, you may be considering options such as: editorial board service, leadership positions within the college, and/or external opportunities such as Board service or consulting. Within each of these topic areas, the panelists will discuss how to pursue opportunities of interest. In addition, they will also discuss when and how to politely decline, if something is not of interest.

Panelists will include:
-Elizabeth Odders White, Nodramaturg Faculty Coaching & Consulting
-Manju Puri, Duke University & NBER Research Associate
-Ingrid M. Werner, The Ohio State University & CEPR Research Fellow
