When Roymi Membiela attended the executive leadership development program \u201cWomen on the Move\u201d at Florida International University (FIU), she was an assistant vice president at Baptist Health South Florida.<\/p>\n

At a recent reunion of program participants from Baptist Health, Membiela was now the organization\u2019s new corporate vice president of marketing and public relations.<\/p>\n

Giving women a personal plan for advancement is a goal of \u201cWomen on the Move,\u201d a four-day leadership program developed and presented by the Center for Leadership<\/a> in the College of Business Administration at FIU.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Women on the Move\u2019 was extremely valuable as it gave me the opportunity to remove myself from day-to-day operations, change my mode to \u2018me\u2019 and focus on my career goals,\u201d said Membiela, one of four Baptist Health women who has earned a promotion since attending \u201cWomen on the Move.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was on a succession path but the program helped me frame specific goals and decide what moves to make,\u201d she said. \u201cThe reunion in December allowed me to reflect and to network with other Baptist Health women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past three years, Baptist Health has had 17 women graduate from the program; 15 of them attended the breakfast reunion held on campus December 6, 2010.<\/p>\n

The event took the form of a roundtable discussion facilitated by executive dean and the program\u2019s academic director, Joyce J. Elam<\/strong> as well as executive coach Nance Guilmartin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discussion offered the Baptist Health women an opportunity to take stock of what they\u2019ve accomplished since attending the program,\u201d said the center\u2019s Garth D. Headley<\/strong> (MS \u201907), industrial psychologist and associate director, marketing & corporate relations. \u201cThe facilitators also challenged them to reset their leadership compasses, to develop a culture of continuous learning and to practice the tools given during the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was also an opportunity for me to check in with the Baptist Health women and see how well they have put in action the goals that they set at the completion of the program and what changes have occurred in their careers since attending the program,\u201d Elam said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen on the Move\u201d program scheduled for May 2011. <\/em><\/p>\n

With 31 participants, the fall 2010 \u201cWomen on the Move\u201d drew the largest group in the program\u2019s history. Companies who sent participants included Baptist Health South Florida, Beckman Coulter, Colorado Engineering, FedEx Latinoamerica, FIU, Miami-Dade County, Preferred Care Partners, Road America Motor Club, U.S. Southern Command and Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n

Because of substantially increased interest, the Center for Leadership has reinstated its \u201cWomen on the Move\u201d spring sessions; the next program is now scheduled for May 24-27, 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are seeing is an increase in the demand for executive leadership development programs perhaps as companies begin to be comparatively more optimistic about the economy,\u201d Headley said. \u201cPrograms that particularly speak to the challenges women face as they grow professionally are now in greater demand as women leaders themselves actively seek to hone their skills to meet growing responsibilities and increase their own marketability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
