“I applied for EmBe’s Women’s Leadership Program because I wanted direction in my career. I found that and a group of women who helped me grow. I’m forever grateful for the support of my classmates, the speakers, the program coordinator Erin Bosch, and my incredible mentor. Together, these people helped me become a more self-aware, empathetic, and confident leader. The program was a valuable investment in myself — both personally and professionally — and I’d go back and do it again in a heartbeat.”

“Through Women’s Leadership Program I learned so much about myself, my strengths and what is important to me. In addition to all the insight I gained through the sessions, I met a group of incredible women that I would have never met otherwise. These women have enriched my life in numerous ways and still are. Applying for this program is one of the best decisions I’ve made both personally and professionally.”
Sara Lum, 2018 Program Participant
“The EmBe Women’s Leadership program has been an empowering experience on my lifelong journey to be my best self. As a woman in a male dominated industry, it has been an incredible experience to build relationships with women in fields I would have scarcely crossed paths with otherwise. They inspire me and we support each other in ways that set the groundwork for defining leadership on a personal level and becoming better leaders within our families, organizations, community and/or state.”
Dr. Laura Dykstra Aeschlimann, 2018 Program Participant
“The EmBe Women’s Leadership Program was so amazing…life-changing, really! It was very empowering to learn more about leading a great team of women from other women leaders as well as connect with other truly outstanding women from our community. I cannot recommend this program enough to any woman at any stage of their life and career!”

Personally, I feel I’ve gained an invaluable lifelong membership to a network of community leaders whom I otherwise would not have access to.

Brienne Maner, 2017 Program Participant
