MURFREESBORO — A
woman who became vice president of 13 different corporations by the time she
was 28 years old will bring her “can-do” spirit to the 2016 Women in Higher
Education in Tennessee conference Oct. 6-7.
Mamie McCullough will address the gathering at 10 a.m. Friday,
Oct. 7, at the Williamson campus of Columbia State Community College, 1228
Liberty Pike in Franklin, Tennessee. The two-day conference carries the theme
of “Developing Excellence in Your Life.”
In addition to her business career, McCullough, a native of
Dixie, Georgia, has taught at every level of education from eighth grade
through college. She then took her motivational message of “I Can; You Can,
Too!” to the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a nationwide speakers’ bureau, for which
she served as president of the educational division.
Following McCullough’s keynote address, attendees will
attend concurrent workshops on issues relevant to women who work at all levels
of higher education.
“WHET continues to grow and support women in education, and
we will continue to work to improve women’s salaries and promote women for
upper-level positions,” said Connie Huddleston, president of WHET and
coordinator for MTSU’s College of Liberal Arts.
Dr. Phyllis Qualls-Brooks, former director of the Tennessee
Economic Council on Women, will open the conference with a leadership forum and
networking reception from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6.
