Leadership Workshop Facilitators
COACh was formed in 1998 by a group of senior women faculty in the chemical sciences from across the U.S. with a common concern about the gender based obstacles women scientists face in trying to attain their career goals. They have expanded their program to include professional skills and leadership training for both men and women in the sciences that help empower scientists and engineers to achieve their full potential at the undergraduate, graduate and professional level.
