History
The Iowa Women in Educational
Leadership (IWEL) is a statewide organization that was formed in January
1983. The organization aimed at
promoting the upward mobility of women in educational management by providing
information, support and encouragement for women administrators and those
seeking to be administrators. Members
attended annual IWEL state meetings and regional and local meetings to foster a
network amongst women to provide and receive job-related support and
professional development.
