From 2013-2015, the United States Studies Centre’s Women in Leadership initiative provided a platform for research, discussion and promotion of contemporary issues related to women in leadership in business, government and non-profit organisations in the United States, Australia and globally.

The Initiative was developed around three key pillars:

• Global career and executive education opportunities, particularly through collaborations with US academic leaders and institutions
• International research, analysis and discussion on issues of gender equality, women’s economic participation and leadership
• Facilitating discussion and debate on global issues at the highest levels of leadership.

The program's highlight was the International Dialogue on Women in Leadership, a conference held alongside the G20 Leaders Summit in Brisbane in November 2014.

Program partners:

• Griffith University
• University of Sydney
