ACE Women's Network

The University of Miami is an institutional member of the American Council of Education (ACE) Women's Network of Florida.

The ACE Women's Network is a national system of networks within each state that has a goal of advancing and supporting women in higher education. In addition to the national programming, each State Network develops programs that identify, develop, encourage, advance, link, and support women in higher education careers within that state.

The University of Miami's ACE Women's Network Steering Committee serves faculty and staff to support the professional and personal development of women by facilitating connections, leading trainings, and developing programming.

  • Generate a national sense of urgency/need to advance women in higher education leadership positions.
  • Encourage governing boards to consider practices for recruiting/hiring women to CEOs. 
  • Build capacities for women to achieve mid-and senior-level positions. 
  • Suggest practices/models that recognize success in advancing women. 

The Women’s Leadership Speaker Series is a collaboration between ACE and the ACE Women’s Network Executive Council designed to attract, develop, and support women leaders in higher education. 

Each event in the series provides our state networks with the opportunity to engage with these leaders and experts, host conversations about important topics with women leaders in their states, and promote action that strengthens the pipeline for women’s leadership in higher education.
