Abstract

Despite two decades of increasing numbers of women entering the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM), women remain sparsely represented in academic leadership. Two national programs, the Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM®) program and the Executive Leadership in Academic Technology and Engineering program at Drexel University (ELATE at Drexel®) uniquely enhance the personal and professional skills of participants through experiential learning that increases organizational leadership capacity and innovation in their institutions while building a trusted learning community. This chapter describes the process of translating the successful ELAM leadership learning model to one that more broadly serves faculty in universities and colleges. Program evaluation is continuous and multidimensional, based upon participant experience during the fellowship and leadership advancement in the subsequent years. The outcome of 20 years of ELAM and the first 4 years of ELATE suggests a bright future for women who participate in these fellowships.
