ELAM News to Know 


A Report from ELAM@AAMC

  

ELAM was extremely excited that the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Annual Meeting was held in our hometown of Philadelphia this past November 1 - 6. ELAM had a booth in the exhibit hall, where a number of ELUMs stopped by to meet our new Director of Operations and Management Wendy Johnson, or visit with other staff. We also had a poster at the booth that displayed the huge impact that ELUMs are having all over the world.

 

 

ELAM also presented a poster at the GWIMS poster session, Leadership Development for Academic Women- linking program goals and evaluation for optimal impact. ELAM also hosted its annual AAMC Alumnae and Fellows Tea. This year, with AAMC held in Philadelphia, we were able to do something a little different for the tea. With our entire staff present, we held an informational "fair", where the nearly 100 attendees could learn about ELAM goings-on, from fundraising, to communications, to research, to the upcoming ELUM professional development program being held in San Antonio, TX on January 9 - 12, 2014.

 

 

 

 

It was great to see everyone there - we're already looking forward to next year's meeting in November in Chicago!

Major national companies try 'sponsorship' as new hammer to break glass ceiling

Kent Gardiner, chair of a prestigious Washington law firm, thought he and his fellow managers were doing everything right to promote women and people of color. Crowell & Moring hired roughly equal numbers of men and women out of law school. It had mentoring programs, women's initiatives, a diversity council. It opened a child-care center and embraced part-time and flexible schedules.

Still, the largely white male power structure barely budged. Most of the women and people of color at the firm were stuck in the middle rungs; just one-quarter of the firm's partners are women, and about 10 percent are people of color.
