Rebecca Summary, chairman of the Department of Economics at Southeast Missouri State University, has been selected as a participant in a statewide women's leadership program.

She is one of 60 participants in "Greater Missouri," a program designed to help women move into the executive boardroom and recognize women as community leaders.

Four seminars will be held around the state beginning March 10 in Jefferson City.

The program was founded in 1988 by the Missouri Foundation for Women's Resources, a public, non-profit educational organization established to provide education services relating to the advancement of women.
