FOREWORDDecision makers on the federal, state, and local levels have become acutely aware of the needto increase women's participation in the decision-making and policy-setting aspects of vocationaleducation. Often, honest attempts by concerned decision makers to involve women in policy issueshave been hampered because it has been difficult to identify a pool of women with administrativeexpertise. To help remedy this situation, a national survey of women administrators in vocationaleducation has been conducted.The objective of this national survey was to develop a directory that would serve a two-foldpurpose: first, to report professional data listing women in all levels of educational institutions andagencies employed in vocational administrative capacities; and second, to identify women whoadminister programs traditionally administered by men. Hopefully this directory will provide decisionmakers with a greater awareness of the number of qualified women administrators and will serve as aresource for contacting specific individuals with experience and expertise in vocational educationadministration.We wish to thank the panel of "onsultants Susan Shephard, Anne Mayes, Carol Jabonaski,Beverly Hankenhoff, Paula S. Greenfieldfor their help in establishing candidate selection criteriafor the survey. The staff is also grateful to the educational and vocational community for the manyjournal and newsletter announcements publicizing the survey and for the written letters of endorsement supporting the project. It goes without saying that the successful completion of this documentis due in large part to the major contributions of sex equity coordinators, supervisors, and/ordirectors and state directors of vocational education employed in the various states.A special note of recognition is extended to numerous program chairpersons of the 1979 AVAconvention. Specifically, we are indebted to interest group leaders Linda Beene (sex equity); JamesCogdell (trade and industry); Ralph'Steeb (industrial arts); Elinor Burgess (distributive education);Elizabeth Milliken (health education); Ruth Ostler (NHSS); Edward C. Mann (technical education);Winnie Dickinson (administration); Paul Day (agriculture education); and Robert Thompson (businessand office education). Ellen Bowers, Nancy Evans, and Fern Green are also recognized for their reviewand recommendations of the final product.The project staff employed at the National CenterRafael Bedolla, graduate research associate,and Brenda Hemming of the clerical staffare commended for playing a major role in the completionof this project. Novella Ross, project director, is congratulated for her diligence and persistence incompleting this challenging task.Robert E.

INTRODUCTIONNearly 1,600 biographical erries are contained in this first edition of the Directory of WomenAdministrators in Vocational Education. Listings include presidents, deans, chairpc,ons, directors,and other administrators currently employed in various educational institutions and agencies infifty-three states and territories. The purpose of this directory is to provide decision makers with aspecialized listing of women with administrative expertise in vocational education who can serve asconsultants, advisory council members, and applicants for vacant positions. This document is designedto foster the increased participation of women in the formulation of policy in vocational education.BACKGROUNDIdentifying Potential CandidatesEvery effort was made to solicit potential listings from seven distinct areas of vocationaleducation. Target populations were designated as follows:1. State Education Agencies2. Local Education Agencies3. Regional Education Agencies4. Universities/Colleges5. Technical Institutes, Community/Junior Colleges6. Proprietary Schools/Colleges7. Federal Education AgenciesTo obtain the names of state, local, and regional administrators, each state department ofvocational education and its staff focusing on sex fairness was contacted by mail with a request for acomplete listing of all female administrators in vocational education. Follow-up requests to thosestates not responding was conducted by telephone. To locate women administrators in federaleducation agencies, the United States Government Manual, the Congressional Staff Directory, HEWDirectory, vocational rehabilitation Council listings, Veterans Administration Directory, and directories of individual military branches were all used for resource mailing lists to solicit the nominationof candidates from key contact persons.To identify appropriate university/college, community/junior college, technical institute, andproprietary school personnel, the College Blue Book, Technical Education Yearbook, IndustrialTeacher Education Yearbook, and Educational Research Centers Directory were used as primaryreferences. Each school listed in the primary references included in the target categories was contactedby mail in an effort to secure the names of possible entrants for the directory. Announcements werealso placed in those professional journals and newsletters (e.g., Centergram, Education Daily, AVAUpdate, WEECN, etc.) with wide distribution throughout the education community.1i
In an effort to provide firsthand information to the vocational education community, anoverview of the project, "Survey of Women Administrators in Vocational Education," waspresented before eleven major interest groups at the 1979 American Vocational Associationconvention held in Anaheim, California. Survey forms were given out during each presentationto interested persons for distribution to potential candidates in their home states.As a result of these efforts, approximately 1,500 educational agencies and institutions fromfifty-three states and territories nominated persons for the survey. Each woman whose name wassubmitted and whose position appeared to be in any way an administrative one was subsequentlymailed a questionnaire by which she could determine her qualifications for inclusion in the directory.Self-evaluation on the criteria and verification by the immediate supervisor provideu the only basisfor the subsequent listing of a woman's name in the document.Due to resource allocations and time factors, it was not feasible to check the qualifications ofeach applicant. Consequently, the accuracy of the data listed in the directory is based totally on thequality of the information provided by the candidates.Because responses were voluntary and extensive follow-up was impractical, the directory listsonly women who reported that they are involved in vocational education administration. Theresearcher recognizes that employment changes occuring over the two-year period in which theThedata were collected may mean that several wellqualified women may not have been notNational Center's staff sincerely regrets anyincluded in this document.Defining an AdministratorAdministration means different things to different people. There are nearly as many definitionsConsequently, several strategiesas there are people who have attempted to define it (Robbins 1976).were used to develop a functional and appropriate definition.The initial strategy involved two processes. First, professional organizations in which adminisorganizations as thetrators hold membership were contacted by telephone. These included suchAmerican Association of School Administrators, National Education Association, AFL-CIO, AmeriAssociation.can Federation of Teachers, and the Elementary and Secondary School hetaskofResponses indicated that none of theseagenciesgeneral definition for an administrator as a part of its operational policy. State educationemploying administrative personnel were also contacted. Ti:is contact revealed that job descriptionstolisting duties and responsibilities for specific positions are the primary tools these agencies useparticularjob.identify and define administrators. These job descriptions vary with the demands of aSample job descriptions were collected from various agencies.theThe second major strategy involved a comprehensive literature review of the theories andtheory,Filleyresearch problems nertaining to administration.
