UCA Women’s Leadership Network is a network created for women, by women, to support women who are seasoned or aspirant leaders in the home, at work or in the community. The purpose of the network is to provide opportunities for women to connect from various backgrounds in Conway and surrounding areas. This network is an LGBTQ Safe Space Zone and diversity-inclusive brave space. This means that we
welcome and respect women across a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations. We also value and support members who belong to historically underrepresented and diverse ethnic, racial, religious, linguistic and national backgrounds. This term, meaning fearless speech, has guided great thinkers and leaders—but it is often misunderstood. Fearless or brave speech does not mean that you are entitled to say anything you want with impunity. Instead, it means that you are willing to be humble, vulnerable, and to take a risk in telling the truths that will challenge one another–and the world–to become better. As a member of this network, you will be asked to pledge mutual respect and honesty. You will engage in personal conversations, and so you must be willing to hold yourself accountable to this principle.
