Mid Women LEAD is Mid Michigan College's affiliated chapter of the Michigan ACE Women's Network (MI-ACE Women's Network). 

MI-ACE Vision

We envision an open and just higher education environment in which women and men share their talents and voices equally to improve the quality of higher education. Although there have been gains in gender equity in higher education, more attention is called for. Therefore, we focus on building a substantial network of women in Michigan higher education by providing leadership, resources, and services.  Our efforts include professional development, networking, advocacy, and partnerships with other professional women’s networks, to empower our members to achieve career success and gain a greater voice.

As an affiliated chapter of the American Council on Education (ACE) Women's Network, the MI-ACE Women's Network is committed to identifying, developing, encouraging, advancing, linking, and supporting women in higher education.

Our role as a chapter of the MI-ACE Women's Network is to fulfill this commitment by identifying women in leadership at Mid Michigan College, advancing them through leadership programming, providing an outlet for them to network and connect, and supporting them throughout their leadership journey. We achieve this by providing our own programming, as well as communicating the resources offered by the MI-ACE Women's Network. Mid Women LEAD focuses on career advocacy, diversity, inclusivity, and advancement of women in higher education administration and aspiring leaders.
