The Role of Women in Creating Structures of Shared Leadership

The Rev. Ginny Doctor is a Circle Connections Advisor and long time friend and colleague of Ann Smith co-creating and facilitating circle events, and women’s leadership programs, especially the Indigenous Women’s Pathways programs that she conducts throughout Alaska. Ginny is a Mohawk leader and Episcopal priest, Canon to the Ordinary and Chief of Staff for the Alaska Episcopal Diocese. She will speak from her experience as a Mohawk, a matriarchal tribe and the legacy of the Iroquois Confederacy that became a model for the US government, and her life work in creating structures of shared leadership, where high level officials and grassroots people come together as peers.
