Women Leading Under Pressure: With No Road Map, What is Your Compass?

A UROC Critical Conversation
4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, October 29, 2020 via Zoom

A major theme of the University of Minnesota Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center's (UROC) community-driven Research Agenda is "Community Healing and Wholeness" — a focus based on the tenet that smart decisions can't be made unless decision makers and all parties involved address both individual and community healing and health. Hear how some of Minnesota’s most powerful female leaders make decisions under pressure while navigating their community's physical, mental and spiritual health and their own wellness. 

Panelists include:

  • Joan T.A. Gabel, University of Minnesota President; 
  • Alika P. Galloway, Liberty Community Church Co-pastor;
  • Shauen Pearce, City of Minneapolis Mayor’s Office, Economic Development and Inclusion Policy Director; and
  • Stella Whitney-West, NorthPoint Health and Wellness Chief Executive Officer.

Women Leading Under Pressure: With No Road Map, What is Your Compass? will be moderated by Makeda Zulu-Gillespie, University of Minnesota Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center executive director. The event will feature a discussion by panelists, followed by a Q&A session moderated by members of UROC’s YoUthROC Research Team. The event is free and open to the public.
