In 2024, I facilitated more than 30 two-hour professional development workshops (mostly at my home) with leaders across the A Bolder Way Forward movement. We dug deep into understanding a deeper societal change model that is helping us work toward ensuring the Utah girls, women, and their families better thrive. I had an amazing group of leaders at my house yesterday, and we remembered to get a photo! Thanks, Brieanne (Brie) Sparks, MBA on my team for all you do and for taking the photo! Those who participated in this learning experience included Britney McCausland, Brooke Anderson Muir, Crystal Butler, Emmalee Chastain, Eric Dahlin, Latonya Howell, SHRM-CP, Mallory Santa Cruz, Marcela Taylor, Matthew Hartvigsen, Colleen Orton, Courtney Harris, Michelle McConkie, Michelle Mooney, M.A., CDP, Tiffany Unwin Sowby, Lizette Villegas, and Hailey Prendergast. Thanks to all of these individuals for stepping forward to make a difference in the state of Utah!   Utah Women & Leadership Project Utah State University - Jon M.
