AESA's Women in Leadership Conference:
What's Impacting our
Next Generation of Women Leaders?
|
|
AESA Women’s Leadership Network members from across the country gathered to network with, learn from, and support each other in their leadership roles.
The gathering kicked off with the group honoring and remembering Susan Leddick, founder of the WLN, by sharing personal stories of her mentoring, lessons learned from her, and the impressions she left with them.
AESA Business Partner, Corwin, sponsored guest speaker, Lisa Hinkelman, Founder/CEO of Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX), who shared the results of a survey of over 10,000 girls about what impacts their lives. Lisa shared strategies on how to help create future women leaders by giving young girls confidence. Visit www.rulingourexperiences.org for more information about the survey and Lisa’s non-profit organization. You can also order Lisa’s book, Girls Without Limits, use promo code AESA2022 and receive a 30% discount from Corwin.
The gathering continued with conversations around supporting social/emotional needs at work from a female perspective; how to continue to support one another; and how these messages can be shared with others.
A big thank you goes out to our sponsors, Corwin, for speaker Lisa Hinkelman, and Community Health Magazine for Thursday night dinner!

TOP Cyber-Defense Measures
for Improving Your
Cyber-Risk Profile ASAP
Last week we discussed “Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) and Access Management measures.” This week we discuss Internal/External Vulnerability scans and Continuous Improvement for improving your cyber-risk profile the BEST you can as FAST as you can.
Vulnerability Assessments can help you avoid data leaks and breaches before they start–but to be effective, you must conduct external and internal scans to do it right. Vulnerability
scans identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current environment. But it’s not a one-and-done task. You must conduct scans regularly to detect new weaknesses and
threats on a continuous basis- we recommend every 90 days. It provides you with a process to regularly identify and remediate your most critical and high-risk vulnerabilities.
|
ResoluteGuard uses the industry's best internal and external scanning tools to identify your cyber-risk strengths and weaknesses and populate easy-to-use, easy-to-understand smart workflow reports that align the governance, administration, and technical activities to the common objective: avoiding disruption of critical services.
