2019 AISES Leadership Summit
 

About the AISES Leadership Summit

Metaphorically a summit is reaching a new height in skill, career, industry or effort, which is the precise meaning and design behind the AISES Leadership Summit. Held annually in the Spring, the Summit is a gathering of people who deeply care about science, technology, engineering and math, collectively known as STEM. It is a place where participants discuss various skills, core competency or training; they propose thoughts or ideas; they share resources; and they explore why focus and accomplishment in STEM fields and careers is important for everyone.

The Summit brings together like-minded individuals to discover potential, offer strategies, improve learning, sharpen leadership techniques and build networks to take back to the work environment or class room so they can do their best work.

The Summit is leadership in action from elders, mentors, researchers, students and professionals that supports the emotional and the motivation in all of us.
