June 2024 Newsletter

Colleagues,

Good morning! I have a number of Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) announcements for June:

First, we are pleased to announce the release of a new research and policy brief titled “The Status of Women Leaders in Government – State of Utah: A 2024 Update.” Additionally, we released two new “What Can I Do?” idea sheets for Salt Lake County and Beaver County (based on community gatherings). Thanks to everyone involved in these publications.

Second, registration for the A Bolder Way Forward (BWF) 2nd Annual Summit on June 6 is full with a waitlist. However, we will livestream the opening session (9:30am-11:00am). You can register for the livestream option here.
