Abstract

The focus of this project was to examine regional differences in the percentage of women attaining the two highest levels of administration within social work academia. The regions examined were the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West of the United States. The results show an increasing percentage of women achieving directorship and deanship positions with some regions excelling in the representation of women.
