About this event

To celebrate Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s birthday, Wednesday, November 12, The Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association (ECSHA) will host a Young Women’s Leadership Summit. High school juniors from Gloversville, Johnstown, Fonda, Mayfield, Northville and PTECH will network with local women leaders; tour an art show on women’s leadership created by Dr. Leslie Ford; meet with Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s great-great granddaughter, Coline Jenkins; and craft their own leadership philosophy.

Fifteen local women leaders from a variety of fields were on hand to offer the students insight on their leadership journeys. The students who attend overwhelming report that this event was a valuable use of their time.
