Abstract

The Empowering Women to Lead Conference was held on September 16, 2022, at the Northern Lights Casino in Walker, Minnesota. It was hosted by the GFWC Nevis Women’s Club in partnership with various sponsors from north-central Minnesota. The main objectives of the conference were: ● To expose rural women to women leaders, role models and potential mentors ● To provide rural women with the opportunity to form new friendships and networks ● To support women in validating themselves while also being presented with new ideas on how to advance ● To serve as a catalyst for future women’s services and development initiatives in rural Minnesota

Description

The conference planning committee, consisting of some members of the NWC, worked with a graduate student from the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs to design an evaluation survey to be completed by conference attendees. Over 290 women were registered to attend the event and 169 completed the evaluation survey. In November and December, the GFWC Nevis Women’s Club conducted three focus groups (two in-person and one virtually) as follow-ups to the evaluation.
