Utah Women & Leadership clip
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).
Join Tiffany Roe in a no-nonsense workshop on women's mental health. She'll talk about trends in women's mental health and share the top strategies and tools that help her clients thrive. Women face unique challenges and there are unique tools to help! Let's demystify self-care, unpack some self-defeating beliefs, and practice a few skills together! Tiffany has focused her career on treatment for women navigating disordered eating, poor body image, poor relationships with themselves and food, anxiety, life transitions, and low self-worth. Tiffany personally survived an eating disorder and has been fully recovered for over 12 years. She passionately works to dismantle diet culture and feels called to work with women and to help them find true purpose and self-worth. Tiffany believes you can love yourself, your mind, and your body.
"No growth is as important as growing together."

"Where is our focus?"
"You have intrinsic value for who you are."
Many Utah women take career breaks for various reasons, including raising children, assisting with elder care, and managing other responsibilities. Eventually, many women want to relaunch their careers, whether it is full-time, part-time, or even contract work. Yet, relaunching is intimidating for so many women. Often, we feel that we are not prepared for professional work after being at home and outdated in terms of skills, competencies, and professional networks. Don’t lose hope because you are more prepared than you think! This engaging panel of experts and relaunchers will provide experiences, insights, tools, tips, and strategies for women returning to the workforce—whether you are thinking about it or already have a “job” but want a “career.” Join us as we discuss how to be successful in relaunching your career!

It is a panel discussion focused on understanding the wage gap issues in Utah. The gender wage gap is a persistent concern in the United States, where women make about 82% of what men make for comparable work. And the numbers in Utah are more extreme, where a woman earns approximately 71 cents for each dollar a man earns. In fact, year after year, Utah is consistently near the bottom of national rankings in terms of gender pay equity. Although the existence of the wage gap is indisputable, many try to discount it or attribute the entire gap to “women’s choices.”
In reality, the wage gap is deeply complicated, with dozens of contributing factors, including educational attainment, recruiting practices, negotiation success, hours worked, occupational segregation, and unpaid care work, not to mention unconscious bias and plain-old sexism. Our panel of experts will discuss some of the most important contributing factors, dig deeper into how the gap varies by race and other demographics, and evaluate major efforts to reduce the wage gap, including both private and public initiatives. Join us for what is sure to be a fascinating discussion of this critical issue, one that affects not just women, but families, communities, our businesses, and the state as a whole.
Two internationally acclaimed speakers, Sharon Eubank and Dr. Valerie M. Hudson, share their expertise, insights, and research on the status of women worldwide in terms of basic needs, health, violence against women in society, equity for women in families and communities, women’s educational attainment, human trafficking, maternal mortality, the extent to which women are involved in societal decision making, leadership, and current humanitarian and policy efforts to address these issues and others. They will also discuss how the status of women in society is linked to the well-being of communities and nations (see bios on next page). Importantly, each will address why it is important for Utahns to become informed and empowered as global citizens and how to make a difference. Women (12 years and older) and those who influence them are invited (men too)!
"Don't be afraid to speak out."
