Greetings MI-ACE Members & Happy New Year!

We are all pleased to have the year 2020 in our rearview mirrors. Although the challenges caused by COVID-19 still remain, we look forward to this new year with renewed hope that the vaccines will prove to be an effective solution to the global pandemic.

The MI-ACE Women’s Network will continue its commitment to improving the general climate and professional environment for women by identifying, developing the leadership of, encouraging, advancing, linking and supporting women in higher education across the state.

Mentoring Mondays will remain focused on bringing you professional development opportunities and leadership strategies; however, we would also like to recognize and honor women in leadership roles who have shattered glass ceilings throughout history and more recently. Each month from January through May, we will highlight the significant accomplishments of women throughout the state and nationally. During the month of January, our focus is on women in government, especially women within President-elect Joe Biden’s Administration and Cabinet. What better way to begin than by celebrating the first female Vice President of the United States of America, Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.

Kamala Devi Harris, an American politician, is the first female Vice President-elect in the history of the United States. She is the junior United States Senator from the State of California. Prior to her election to the Senate, she was Attorney General of California. A member of the Democratic Party, she will become the 41st person (and first ever female) to serve as Vice President of the United States on January 20, 2021.

Congratulations Madam Vice President-elect! The MI-ACE Women’s Network salutes your accomplishment.

In support of Kamala Harris, let us wear our glass ceiling pins and pearls on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2021.
