Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP)

 

Dr. Susan R. Madsen and the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) are excited to host a gathering focused on identifying ways to help girls and women in Rich County thrive. Utah is full of engaged, passionate individuals who frequently ask the question, "What can I personally and/or professionally do to strengthen the impact of Utah girls and women?" To provide specific answers to that question, the UWLP team hosts "think tank" gatherings to collect best practices for various stakeholders interested in supporting and empowering Utah girls and women. This is an opportunity for community leaders and others (e.g., government, politics, business, schools, nonprofits, healthcare) within Rich County to brainstorm ways to help girls and women better thrive. 

While living in Utah holds many positives, there are vast differences in the way that some experience Utah’s economic success, leadership opportunities, and even safety and belonging. Come brainstorm how you and your community can shift that in Rich County. 

      • Date: Friday, May 31, 2024

      • Time: 12 pm - 2 pm

      • Place: Garden City Offices

      • Note: A light lunch will be provided.

We have completed think tank gatherings in 20 other counties, creating a two-page report that can be distributed throughout the community. To see how your community may use the output to inform and further your work, here is a link to various “What Can I Do?” reports from prior gatherings. 

In addition, Dr. Madsen will introduce A Bolder Way Forward (BWF) as we prepare to form a Rich County Coalition. If you are inspired to stay and learn more, plan to meet from 1:15-1:45 with us. 

Please reply to this invitation and let me know whether or not you can attend. And, if you know of someone else who would like to be included, please share their name and email address with me so I can track RSVPs.

When we lift girls and women, we lift everyone.
