Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole & Bea Purdue: Powering Up the Leadership Pipeline Friday, January 25, 2008; 10AM (Eastern)

Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, President Emerita of Bennett College for Women and Spelman College, and Bea Purdue, President of the Johnnetta B. Cole Institute are extraordinary people who believe in taking action to pave the way for the next generation of women leaders. They founded The PowerGirls Network out of their belief in the potential power of a “movement” that resides within a global sisterhood of young women who want to be leaders in their schools, communities, workplaces, and ultimately – the world.

The PowerGirls Network includes, PowerGirls Magazine, an online social network, School & Community Partners, an Annual Global Summit, and the Summer Leadership Institute. On this episode of Diversity Matters™ Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole and Bea Purdue join co-hosts Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein to discuss awakening, guiding and empowering current and future generations toward becoming positive influencers, thought provokers, and innovators.
