Why do women tend to avoid self advocacy and absorb undue burdens?  And how can women more effectively ask for what they need, especially during times of uncertainty? Studies reveal that across educational levels and up and down the organizational chart, women are less likely than men to make their needs known.  Yet, research also shows that when women advocate effectively, they increase their own success and the success of others.   This presentation will explore the dynamics of women and self advocacy and reveal strategies that enable women to voice ideas from a position of mutual gain.   October 21, 2009 Americian Cancer Society / DE Breast Cancer Coalition and the Fresh Start Scholars will be recognized.
