WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

CAAWS’ Women and Leadership Program consists of a series of five professional development sessions that blend theory with practical applications, and provide an opportunity for women working or volunteering in the sport or active living communities, recreation field or school system to share experiences, reflect on ideas and apply specific techniques.
