Fast forward 60 years and women compete (and cooperate) head-to-head with men at every level of the business world and in all professional callings. but while the idea of women and men working as equals is now considered unremarkable, studies show that women and men approach their jobs differently, with women actually being more persuasive than their male counterparts, more inclusive in their management styles and, consequently, more apt to rely on teambuilding when it comes to solving problems and making decisions. And that instinct for team building needs to be applied to the AbwA itself, says René street, executive Director. “That’s why we have developed the women’s instructional network, a series of online courses that AbwA members can take, which will help our local groups to be more successful,” street says. AbwA has contracted with one of the country’s leading developers of online professional development courses to provide members with the latest technological tool to held advance their local AbwA chapter/ network as well as their careers.
