About this event

The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for our third Spring Women’s Leadership Forum.

Utah is home to many prominent women leaders within a variety of faith traditions. This Forum will bring together four of these individuals to discuss their perspectives on women’s leadership and why, where, and how women today are needed to influence, impact, and lead in all settings. They will also discuss how girls, young women, and women can prepare now to become leaders themselves. Dr. Susan R. Madsen, founder of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, will moderate this engaging panel of community leaders. Come prepared to ask questions and to listen and learn from these influential women! This event is open to all girls/women and those who influence them (this includes men too).

Sponsors: Jon M. Huntsman School of Business and Extension at Utah State University & Utah Education Network (UEN)
