New IWL Women's Leadership Fact Sheet on NJ Banking In the latest in its series of fact sheets on women in leadership and decision making, IWL focused on women's leadership in New Jersey banking. Data collected on 118 banks belonging to the New Jersey Bankers Association reveal the underrepresentation of women at the top. Women are 4.2 per cent of CEOs. Special appreciation to our graduate assistants Anel Mendez Velazquez and Laura Lovin for their research for this fact sheet.

Inked: An Interview with Alison Bechdel
Alison Bechdel, a critically acclaimed comic artist and author, is one of five women leaders filmed this year by IWL Leadership Scholars as part of the Transforming Lives project conducted in partnership with Writers House Rutgers. Leadership Scholar Mimi Zander interviewed Alison at her home in Vermont and produced a short documentary called, "Inked: An Interview with Alison Bechdel." In the film, Alison reflects on her life and work:
"I grew up in the early 60's. I started noticing an incredible sexist world where women were Beaver Cleavers' mother... It was just not something I related to at all..." Click here to view the documentary. |

IWL Alumna in Focus
 | | Abigail Hamilton, Rutgers Class of 2001 |
Following her time as an IWL Leadership Scholar, Abigail Hamilton received her Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Loyola College in Maryland. She has devoted the majority of her training and clinical experience to working with late adolescents and early adults. Now running her own private practice and enjoying being a new mother, Abigail wrote:
"My experience in IWL was formational. I believe it provided a space in which to learn professionalism, poise, and public speaking which were invaluable later for interviews and presenting at conferences. As much as I credit IWL for helping me in my professional life, I cannot discount its impact on decisions I have made in my personal life. . . ."
