Elaine is delighted to bring her experience in, knowledge of, and passion for women’s global and leadership education to the innovative Summit initiative.

Elaine publishes and presents nationally and internationally on these topics, as well as on international and women’s education leadership. She helped found, and for the past 12 years directed, the Center for Women’s Intercultural Leadership at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, IN.
