Murray Hill Institute Newsletter
Spring 2010
Volume 7 No. 2

Dear Friends,

In conversations about Murray Hill Institute, people frequently ask, “When and how did Murray Hill Institute begin?”  It is hard to believe that it was10 years ago when the idea of launching an organization devoted to the study of the distinct contribution that women make to society, especially through professional work, was born.  And the rest has been a very exciting history!

In October of 2000 we held our first conference, Women Transforming Culture, which confirmed the viability of our mission and encouraged us to offer additional programs aimed at helping women make positive changes in the workplace.  Through various conferences and lectures, we have explored a number of relevant topics important to women—Integrity and Ethics in the Workplace, A Person-Centered Approach to Work-Life Balance, Woman, Beauty & Image, Being a Woman in the Workplace, Work Habits and Time Management, Women and Career Success. Click here to see a chronological list of our past events.

These past 10 years have been a continuous confirmation of the creativity, generosity, and determination of women when they believe in something worthwhile and want to share it with others.  Murray Hill Institute is about women who know how to lead first with example and then by inspiring others.  And it is this kind of leadership that will be the focus of our upcoming conference on April 24: Women Leading in the 21st Century.

Women have qualities that equip them to lead in ways different from men.  While both approaches are valuable and necessary, our conference will highlight the leadership qualities that women embody.  The conference celebrates accomplished women leaders in both corporate and non-profit environments.  You will learn about different leadership styles from women who have been successful by living personal and professional integrity in all they do.  Please consider attending this conference and encourage others to attend as well.  You will be inspired with new ideas and approaches, and return to your workplace informed and energized.  To register, click here.

We look forward to seeing you on April 24.

Warm regards,

Kathleen McGarry
President, Murray Hill Institute
