Be part of San Diego's premier Women's Leadership Program!

The Pauline Foster Women’s Leadership Institute is a holistic leadership development program for exceptional Jewish leaders committed to driving change in their organizations, the Jewish world, and beyond. The Institute offers a unique approach to leadership development through 18 sessions with an executive coach, cohort building retreats, and an immersive group experience. 

THE FOUR PILLARS OF OUR PROGRAM

Kehilah (Community)
Service to and for the greater community starts with a rich understanding of our community with its full diversity and complexity to support its need in the future.

 

Achrayut (Responsibility)
With leadership comes responsibility — responsibility to ourselves, others, and the community.


Chesed (Loving Kindness)
Leadership is giving oneself fully with love, compassion, and empathy.


Tzmicha (Growth)
Leadership is an evolution — we are pushed to develop, take risks and innovate.
