EXTON, Pa. — The SCTE Foundation is now accepting applications for the Catherine Oakes Memorial Leadership Scholarship for Women award which is to be used towards attendance at the Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) Executive Leadership Presence workshop scheduled for later this year.
Part of the WICT’s Executive Development Series, the workshop is designed to help mid-career cable professionals to develop leadership presence as a means to inspire confidence, engage and influence others, and maintain productivity while increasing visibility and career mobility, says the news release.
The two-day program will introduce participants to a unique framework and toolkit of 21 specific attributes, skills and thought processes that will help them build the knowledge and skills needed to: project a strong executive presence; create powerful, high-impact first impressions; achieve a ‘confident casual’ style in both formal presentations and impromptu communications; and build and maintain a reputation for strong executive presence and a value-based leadership brand, says the release.
The SCTE Foundation’s $3,500 scholarship is open to all women who are SCTE-ISBE members, and the funds are intended to defray the cost of the workshop as well as a portion of the winner’s travel and accommodation costs. The workshop is scheduled for September 30 to October 1 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego.
Scholarship applications are due by May 29, 2020. More information and application materials can be found here.
