Women's Public Leadership Consortium.
Consortium organized in 1980 by Bette Soldwedel, University of North Florida, Jacksonville, Florida. The Consortium's purpose was to develop innovative programs for political education and to encourage women's political and public leadership. It consisted of women representatives from four area colleges: Edward Waters College, Florida Junior (later Community) College, Jacksonville University and UNF. The Consortium sponsored or collaborated in forums directed at increasing women's leadership skills in academic and civic settings. In Nov., 1991, the Consortium changed it's name to Women in Higher Education in Jacksonville. It's new statement of purpose was, in part, to provide a forum for Jacksonville women in higher education to exchange ideas on subjects of current interest and concern. It held regular programs focusing on issues affecting the female faculty, students, and staff of local institutions of higher learning. The organization ceased to exist in 1995.
