Dear friends
As an alum of the Changing Faces programme, I have benefited so much from this programme that I went to last year in Hawaii. (You can read more on my blog)
I hope you can share this with your women entrepreneurs friends and encourage them to apply for this amazing opportunity to network and meet and learn from other women across the Asia-Pacific.
It's a scholarship for the 2-weeks of immersive learning on the islands of Oahu and Maui, Hawaii from 4 to 18 July.
Closing date is 12 March 2020.
Details below!

Dear Changing Faces Alumnae,
I am writing to share the 2020 Changing Faces Women’s Leadership Seminar announcement pasted below. Given your prestige, community reach, and past experience as a Changing Faces participant, I ask that you share this opportunity with your network and encourage qualified female business owners and social entrepreneurs to apply. To this end, I have attached a social media image for your use and to share on Twitter, Instagram, and elsewhere. You may also retweet the announcement from @EWCSeminars.
Liz and I also invite you to register for the East-West Center’s 60th Anniversary International Conference, scheduled to take place June 30-July 2, 2020 in Honolulu. The 2020 Changing Faces Seminar will begin a couple days after the Alumni Conference and we are planning an alumni gathering and bonding activity with the 2020 cohort on the afternoon of July 5. If you are planning to attend the Alumni Conference, please let Liz or I know if you will be available to join us on July 5, so we can include you in our headcount. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or comments regarding the Changing Faces Seminar.

NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!
DEADLINE: THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2020
Theme: Women as Innovators and Entrepreneurs
Study Destinations: Oahu & Hawaii Island
The 2020 Changing Faces Women’s Leadership Seminar focuses on the important role that innovation and entrepreneurship play in contributing to economic growth, job creation, and strengthening communities. During this 13-day professional training, dialogue, and travel program, participants engage in a series of workshops focused on leadership and entrepreneurship that are facilitated by a noted women’s leadership trainer and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Participants also expand their knowledge of entrepreneurship, economic growth, leadership, and community building through carefully selected field visits and meetings with experts, practitioners, business owners, and policymakers in Hawaii. Participants are individually matched with local women leaders in a Host Mentor Program and, in return, Changing Faces participants act as mentors for a select group of high school students in a Next Generation Service Project. The Changing Faces Seminar also provides training and consultative sessions to help participants develop and actualize a concrete Action Plan for the betterment of their business or their community. Finally Changing Faces women serve as panelists, moderators and attendees at the publicly ticketed #galswithLEI, a purposeful, collaborative, and dynamic forum.
Who Can Apply: The Changing Faces Seminar targets female business owners and social entrepreneurs who have demonstrated leadership and ability to affect change and influence others in their communities. Innovative entrepreneurs, business managers, government and industry policymakers, and civil society leaders with at least seven years of work experience and who play a leadership role in their community are eligible to apply. Innovators may generally be defined as those who have created an original idea or product or are recognized for their ability to improve upon an original idea or system. Eligible countries include the United States and Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, East Timor, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nauru, Nepal, New Zealand, Niue, Pakistan, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Vietnam. Women from Hawaii are particularly encouraged to apply! Applicants must have the ability to communicate in English in a professional setting. Preference is given to candidates with limited opportunities for international exchange and professional development as well as those who offer to cost-share programmatic costs. A phone interview may be conducted with finalists.
Funding: The 2020 Changing Faces Seminar is funded by the East-West Center, the Fish Family Foundation, and others. EWC plus individual scholarships will fund six to eight women from the United States and the Asia Pacific region. A full scholarship for the 2020 Changing Faces Seminar is valued at USD$2,885/per participant. Changing Faces Women are all individually responsible for their roundtrip airfare to and from Honolulu, visa related expenses, health insurance, and baggage fees. Given the limited number of scholarships available, EWC strongly encourages additional cost-sharing of the programmatic costs.
