In 2020, we were able to elevate our International Women's Day events to a full week of programming. We loved seeing all our event attendess across four campuses at Parnassus, Mission Bay, Mt. Zion and Oakland!

Presented by the Office of Diversity & Outreach, the Committee on the Status of Women & the Women of UCSF Health, check out those events with livestream recordings here and the photos below!

We were thrilled to join Executive Coach, Minji Wong, for an interactive session on developing our 2020 vision statements!

Alleysha Mullen, Learning & Organization Development Consultant, led an interactive session on public speaking and preparing for presentations.  Alleysha gave attendees tips and tricks to leverage at each stage of the presentation cycle including preparing for a presentation, the day of the event, and during a presentation. This session helped attendees leave with strategies on how to be public speaking pros.

Given the success of this session at our inaugural International Women's Day, Women of UCSF Health presented an extended version of 'Advocacy Using Relationship Centered Communication Skills'. This session provided a framework for relationship-centered negotiation and the opportunity for women to practice skills for effective communication in the workplace and beyond. The session was led by five facilitators from the UCSF Center for Enhancing Communication in Healthcare: Laura Kirk, PA;  Anna Meyer, MD; Lynnea Mills, MD; Nynikka Palmer, DrPh, MPH and Diane Sliwka, MD.

On June 6th 2019 Women of UCSF Health hosted a bown bag lunch session to discuss the impact of our inaugural International Women's Day celebration. Women of UCSF Health leaders shared figures and recaps from the events with the community and invited audience input through a phone based polling system. Attendees were able to give their feedback and make suggestions for future programming. At the end of the session, attendees had a chance to socialize and network with each other. 

On March 8th 2019 Women of UCSF Health hosted its inaugural International Women's Day event in partnership with the Committee on the Status of Women and Campus Life Services. We hosted a variety of events and workshops across various UCSF locations focusing on professional development, advocacy for women's equity in UCSF Health, health and wellness, and networking and socializing opportunities. Highlights included professional headshot sessions, various keynote speeches by influential women leaders, interactive workshops, yoga and mindfulness classes, and much more.
