COACh (http://coach.uoregon.edu/index.html) was formed in 1998 by a group of senior women faculty in the chemical sciences with a common concern about the gender-based obstacles women scientists face in trying to attain their career goals. The workshops will be: The Art of Strategic Performance (a.m.) and Strategies for Leading Change (p.m.) by Lee Warren, associate director of the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard University (http://bokcenter.harvard.edu), and Nancy Houfek, head of Voice & Speech for the American Repertory Theatre (http://www.amrep.org/iatt/houfek.html) at Harvard University.
