Melba Vasquez, Ph.D. presents at the 2013 Teachers College Annual Winter Roundtable at Columbia University.

Leadership skill development is an important goal for women and men of color. Diversity in leadership is a “compelling interest” in order to ensure adequate representation of the United States’ wide-ranging demographics and to improve legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry. Culture and gender as identity variables can affect a leader’s style, behavior, emergence, and effectiveness in many ways. The presentation includes descriptions of challenges, strategies for effective leadership, and personal examples from Dr. Vasquez’s years spent in leadership roles, most recently as president of the American Psychological Association.
