About the AISES Leadership Summit
Each spring the AISES Leadership Summit brings together students and professionals who are shaping the Indigenous STEM workforce. With a more intimate setting than the National Conference, the Leadership Summit allows for small groups to support and connect among participants. There are more one-on-one interactions with leaders in the industry who possess the experience and skills in working with people at various levels from academic to emerging and experienced career professionals. AISES board members, staff, and advisory council leaders are also available and ready to share information, offer support, and facilitate connection among participants.
The 2022 AISES Leadership Summit has something that all participants can get excited about that provides leadership knowledge and expertise. Participants gain valuable lessons, learn successful skills, and receive relevant executive-and industry-level news to meet the changing nature of careers and capacity development.
