The Leadership Alumni network is a great opportunity to stay in contact with your fellow participants and speakers, and ensure that your network of contacts remains strong. Alumni can share events, job postings, and other interesting news with their fellow Leadership participants. Part of the Leadership goal is to build a strong community of successful, supporting women, but we cannot do that alone!

Daniele Me帽ez, 2015 Moris Leadership Graduate
Past President of the Association of Students at 天美影视传媒 – Seattle (ASUW)
鈥淚 knew that I strived to be a leader, but I didn’t know what kind of leader I could be鈥攁nd what kinds of opportunities existed to help me get there. My time at the [Leadership] Institute allowed me to meet like-minded, passionate peers, learn specific skills such as parliamentary procedure and business etiquette, and learn from empowering women. I learned that there was no specific route to or definition of success鈥攊t is about finding what you are passionate about and running with it. The Institute showed me that I had the capacity and support system to become a leader. This helped me as I served as the Director of the ASUW Pacific Islander Student Commission, in which I led the Pacific Islander community through programming and advocacy.鈥�
Daniele Me帽ez was born on the Pacific island of Saipan and raised on another beautiful island, Guam. She participated in the Alene Moris NEW Leadership Institute as a sophomore.
The spring after the Institute, Me帽ez was elected ASUW President for the 2016-2017 academic year. As ASUW President, Me帽ez chaired the Board of Directors and served as the official spokesperson for the Association on and off campus. Participating in the university鈥檚 shared governance with administration and faculty, she represented the student body by bringing their voices and opinions on the issues to that governance.
