The President’s Lecture Series on Women in Leadership at the American University of Kurdistan (AUK) is comprised of a series of talks and presentations by successful women leaders with the aim of inspiring the next generation of female students. The AUK will invite established women leaders living in the KRI, Iraq, and internationally to share the influence of the culture and social context on their professional paths. It gives women leaders a chance to talk about their own experiences, the difficulties and opportunities they encountered, and the pathways they chose to accomplish their personal goals. The series brings new knowledge as it draws on the unique road map to leadership within the context of the region.
