MISSION AND GOALS
The mission of the Office of Women in Higher Education and the ACE Network is to identify, develop, advance, and support women in higher education at the national, state, and local levels. The goals of both The Network (national) and the Virginia Network are to promote women's leadership in higher education and throughout society as a whole; to create an educational, social, and political climate in which women, in all their diversity, can participate equally with men in setting public agendas; to facilitate connections among women in various sectors of higher education and with other organizations and networks with shared goals on the institutional, state, regional, professional, national, and international levels; and to foster strategic alliances and facilitate effective partnerships between women and men in the workplace.

ORGANIZATION OF THE NETWORK
The major activities of the Virginia Network are coordinated by a statewide Executive Board, which is chaired by a Statewide Coordinator. Typically Virginia Network activities include:

• an annual statewide meeting of Institutional Representatives (IRs);

• regional and statewide conferences for a broad spectrum of women administrators;

• a professional development program for selected senior administrators (the Senior Seminar) a website (http://ace.prov.vt.edu/) and related listservs,

• and a periodic newsletter.

The organization also depends on the involvement and initiative of Institutional Representatives of about 70 colleges and universities throughout the state.
