ANNOUNCEMENTS 
 

Announcing the 2016 SAIS Global Women in Leadership Conference - Save the Date!

We are pleased to announce that the fourth annual SAIS Global Women in Leadership Conference, Access to a Healthier World: Sustaining Women, Communities, and Our Future, will take place on April 15th, 2016 at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C.

The conference will explore how women are changing the landscape of global health. We will hear how leaders in the field are pioneering innovative technologies to tackle health inequities. We will examine how creative policy, advocacy, and business strategies are promoting women’s health and empowerment. We will learn how women are seizing the opportunities provided by improved access to care. And we will develop a roadmap to apply lessons learned as we ask how to translate current momentum into future impact.
