Leading Through Transformation
Featuring Two Sessions:

Session 2 for Women Presidents | Nov. 9-11, 2022
We are so excited to see you for the eighth annual Credo Women in Leadership Institute, held for the first time in Dallas, TX. Immediately following the CIC Chief Academic Officers Institute on Tuesday, November 8, we will begin our Inaugural Women Cabinet Leaders Institute, with sessions running through the following day and concluding with a Wednesday, November 9 Keynote Dinner with speaker Ruth Davis, the Director of Call for Code.
Attendees of the Women Presidents Institute will join Cabinet Leaders for that Wednesday Dinner, and continue with their own sessions through midday Friday.
With a mix of panel discussions, attendee-presented sessions, time with industry experts, and space for leader-to-leader conversation and reflection, these institutes focus on building a community of women leaders and equipping all participants to lead more courageously, more vulnerably, and more effectively as we all work to serve students and fulfill higher education's promise of individual transformation. Join us to explore your own leadership through the evolution and transformation of our industry.

KeyNote Speaker: Ruth Davis
Ruth Davis has always personified acceleration professionally and personally. After skipping multiple grades, at age 14, Ruth decided she was ready for college. When her principal told her she was too young, she found a way. The following year, at age 15, she began her freshman year at Temple University. True to her “get it done” nature, Ruth completed the four-year program in three years, including a 6-month co-op at an IBM datacenter. She graduated with a B. S. Degree in Electrical Engineering at age 18. Ruth joined IBM upon graduation as a systems engineer, then moved into sales.
After three decades of progressive experience and recognition for success in technology consulting, business development, marketing program management, talent development and sales leadership positions, Ruth’s current role as the IBM Director of Call for Code is fitting. She has delivered on the objectives to accelerate the growth of the Call for Code ecosystem and developer community.
Outside of her day job, Ruth strives to transform lives in underserved communities and ensure equity. As Vice-chair of the Inspiredu non-profit board, she focuses on bridging the digital divide through technology and education. A DEI advocate, Ruth champions work in this space including leadership positions on IBM’s Women’s Executive Council and Black Executive Council.
