WHAT: In order to apply, please submit a 500-word (min) to 1000 word (max) essay on the following topic:
“Most of the time we cannot reach our goals without some help. Unfortunately, many women, especially women of color, have found it difficult to gain assistance in the form of a mentor to continue to climb the corporate ladder to their desired position. Furthermore, once we as women have gained powerful positions it is our responsibility to be accessible as mentors to women and men to showcase women as leaders and continue to bring more women into that realm. What have been your mentoring experiences? How can women find the right mentors and continue to act as mentors as we enter more senior roles?”
WHEN: Please send your essay to NANWIL@nanonline.org no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday July 15, 2022.
WIL Sponsorship Program | Deadline: August 25
The Women in Leadership (WIL) Committee of NAN is pleased to announce an opportunity for promising graduate students or postdoctoral fellows to shadow “behind the scenes” conference activities and spend one-to-one time with leaders in the field of neuropsychology. The WIL Sponsorship Program has identified several leaders who have agreed to share a few hours of their time during the annual NAN conference. If selected (typically 3-5 selected), your sponsor will contact you prior to the conference, as an introduction. You will meet your sponsor at the NAN conference, including time for informal one-to-one conversation and the opportunity to meet some of your sponsor’s colleagues. All genders welcome.
Past participants have described this opportunity as informative and encouraging. If interested, please complete the attached application. Provide a brief (2-3 sentences) description of your interest in this Sponsorship Program and rank the topics you would most like to discuss with a sponsor. The application must be accompanied by names and contact information for two recent supervisors who can describe 1) your professional interests, 2) your strengths and accomplishments, and 3) your potential for success in neuropsychology.
Send your application to the WIL email address at NANWIL@nanonline.org no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday August 25, 2023.
