Learn about the pilot of our listening and engagement tour kicking off meetings in 100 communities across Minnesota! 

We convened (virtually!) 4 small groups of women to share how we work, participate in our communities, learn from one another, and to discuss what leadership looks like for women. 

For our pilot project in Northwestern Minnesota, we had four webinar dates. All four followed the same format, and provided an opportunity to connect with other amazing women from the northwestern part of the state.

We just wrapped up an amazing pilot program for 100 in 100 program in Northwestern Minnesota. We were thrilled that over 200 women across the region shared their experiences, thoughts and suggestions during the project through regional surveys and convening. Check out the webinar where Kate Stower, University of MN Humphrey School graduate research assistant  took us through the research and findings along with our partner, Linda Kingery, Executive Director of the  NW Regional Sustainable Development Partnership (RSDP).
