Yang selected for Hmong women leadership program

Pa Nhia Yang, a doctoral student in the Department of Family Social Science, has been selected to participate in the Hmong Women's Leadership Institute. The Institute provides emerging Hmong women leaders with the opportunity to develop their leadership in a supportive, nurturing environment. Fifteen women were selected to participate in culturally appropriate leadership development training from August 2008 through December 2008. Participants will learn how to use and practice their leadership in a way that creates lasting change on a personal, family, organizational, and global level. They will receive monthly group mentoring and/or coaching and will organize a community project that helps the Hmong community to build sustainable, systemic wide changes around social change, particularly gender issues.

Congratulations Pa Nhia!
