Fourth ADEA International Women's Leadership Conference
The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) is sponsoring its fourth global conference to address women’s leadership.
The Fourth ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference is being held September 5-8, 2010 in Salvador, Brazil.
The goal of the Fourth ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference is to foster global alliances and deliver leadership strategies that women can use to improve oral health and overall health in communities throughout the world.
The Fourth ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference theme is “Global Health Through Women’s Leadership.” It will build on themes and outcomes of the previous three international conferences—France (1998), Sweden (2003), Canada (2005)—that addressed global issues affecting women’s health and general health.
Conference information, including the Call for Papers instructions and online submission form, is available:
www.adea.org
The conference will identify strategies that promote the advancement of women and recognize their leadership value in the workforce and in promoting women’s health and oral health.
The Fourth ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference is an outstanding opportunity for the presentation and discussion of issues in three main areas: education, research, and women’s health.
Dental educators, practitioners, health researchers, and policy makers from the global community are invited to submit abstracts for poster and oral presentations related to one of the eleven conference themes:
