A Fireside Chat with Gail Miller: Making a Difference

Panel Discussion/Presentation

This webinar focuses on one woman leader who has made a difference in Utah and beyond for decades. Dr. Susan R. Madsen will interview Gail Miller, co-founder and owner of the Larry H. Miller Company and chair of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. Considered a female pioneer in the business world, Gail credits her mother for teaching her what courage is, a lesson she would lean on after Larry’s death in 2009. Gail became the leader of more than 80 companies, the family foundation, and even had the final say on who played on the Utah Jazz. Her courage, vision, and commitment to making a difference have amplified the Larry H. Miller Company’s legacy of business leadership, community building, and philanthropic giving throughout the state. Gail will share inspiring lessons she has learned from her unexpected journey. She will also share why she believes women have more opportunities than ever before to excel in business. Finally, Gail will share her thoughts on what it means to “live your life on purpose,” and how being intentional with resources, talents, and passion can be a catalyst for making a difference in the lives of others, and especially in your own.

Crossing the Divide: Making an Impact in Career and Community

Panel Discussion/Presentation

For our last webinar in this series, Dr. Susan R. Madsen will moderate a discussion with Jennifer Smith (Executive Vice President & Chief Information Officer, Zions Bancorporation) and Lavonya Mahate (Entrepreneur, Restauranteur, and Community Builder). This conversation will begin with a focus on the panelists’ career development and advancement journeys, and how they—and women more generally—must redefine their identities along the way. This panel discussion will also focus on a variety of topics that relate to foundational skills and abilities that advance women’s careers and the positive impact they can have in community work as well. This includes such topics as how to claim your achievements as women, build rather than leverage relationship, enlist allies from the start, and bring other women along in the process. Next, guests will share their passions and work in the community and the causes and efforts they are involved in that lift and support other women. This will include a discussion of how women can build bridges across communities and cultures. Join this webinar to learn about crossing the divide through making an impact in your career and community!
