Elevating the Stature and Talents of Women
We engage Utah business leaders to help them elevate the stature of women in business and board rooms through our annual ElevateHER Challenge.
ElevateHER Corporate Challenge
In addition, our Political Development Series prepares and develops future female political candidates for local and state-wide offices.
Political Development Series
“Accepting the ‘ElevateHER Challenge’ from the Women’s Leadership Institute has helped us shine an even brighter light on the issue of gender diversity within our organization. Our ongoing efforts to elevate the stature of women’s leadership have helped us strengthen our existing employee development programs and have connected us more deeply to our clients and communities.”
