Go Lead Idaho Presents a Night of Inspiration and Celebration
March 13 event features national speaker Kathy Groob & Inaugural Leadership Awards
BOISE, Idaho – Go Lead Idaho is proud to present a night of inspiration and celebration at its annual spring event Leading In on March 13 at the Riverside Hotel.
Founded in 2010, Go Lead Idaho (http://www.goleadidaho.org) is committed to engaging women in leadership and civic participation through active involvement in the private, public and non-profit sectors.
The night features Kathy Groob, businesswoman, former elected official, political consultant, author, speaker and advocate for women’s issues. Groob inspires and motivates with stories of successful women creating and building their legacies while lending a hand to other women. She is the founder of ElectWomen (http://electwomen.com) and author of Pink Politics.
In recognition of the impact of involvement, Go Lead Idaho will also present its inaugural awards:
The Brenda Maynard Walters Award
Honoring those who keep their elbows down and reach their hands out. Those good sisters who lead with collaborative spirit over divisiveness; who see the good in the hard task and the hard work; who are leaning in while letting others lean on them for support.
Go Lead Early
Recognizing the emerging voices, the school-aged young women who don’t let age define the impact they can have by being vocal and visible and leading early.
The Idaho Woman Citizen
In the spirit of the state that was one of the first to adopt suffrage, honoring a woman who has worked towards the advancement of a public issue for the betterment of the state and its people.
The evening is possible thanks to the generous support of Platinum Sponsor Wells Fargo and Gold Sponsor Perkins Coie.
“Wells Fargo’s commitment to helping women succeed financially is longstanding, and women are an invaluable part of our company’s culture and leadership. About two-thirds of Wells Fargo team members are women, which includes regional, area and market presidents, as well as top-ranking senior executives,” said Don Melendez, Wells Fargo Idaho Regional Banking president. “Our commitment also includes supporting women as business owners and working with organizations that share our vision. Go Lead Idaho’s effort to get women more involved in leadership and civic roles goes nicely with our focus on women as critical members of our organization and community.”
