WISA Sponsored Session: My Sister's Keeper: Building Community, Not Competition Among Women in Higher Education

​Despite strides in diversifying leadership pipelines, women in higher ed often face cultures of scarcity that fuel competition over collaboration. “My Sister’s Keeper” reframes leadership as a collective journey rooted in joy, care, and accountability. Through “keeper circles”—book clubs, healing spaces, mentorship pods, and affirmation groups—this session explores building solidarity and belonging. It’s for any woman ready to replace competition with community and comparison with celebration.
