Gender not a barrier for leaders

Furman president Elizabeth Davis was the keynote speaker in November at the annual ATHENA Leadership Symposium in Greenville, which actively supports talented women in their efforts to assume leadership positions.  A noted scholar, teacher, author and administrator, President Davis told the audience that gender shouldn’t be a barrier for leaders and to “make sure you focus on the goal and not the obstacles and be sure not to create the obstacles yourself.”  Davis’ appearance at the ATHENA event was chronicled in the Upstate Business Journal.
