A career advancement program for women administrators

Conclusions Although it is too early to evaluate progress toward the distal goal of the CLD Program, this local program has been successful in meeting the four proximal goals (open access, career and leadership enhancement activities, career counseling, and fiscal training). Thus, it has been demonstrated that a variety of local resources can be utilized to address career needs that were not being met by national programs.Marilyn Haring-Hidore is Associate Professor of Counseling and Specialized Educational Development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
