Although women make up a majority of museum professionals, they are significantly under-represented in leadership roles. Why is this? The exception to this trend is this session’s panel of dynamic speakers who represent success in both vertical leadership (to director level) and horizontal leadership (experts in a specialist area) in different parts of the world. The speakers, each with their own unique experience and opinions, will reflect on the strategies, challenges, and decisions that have shaped their professional journeys. These personal insights will stimulate further workshop discussions with the audience to help us collectively imagine the benefits of a more equitably-led museum field.
