What do we do?

Connect2Women is a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring women to reach greater heights, impacting through quality professional and personal development that includes leadership training, mentoring, and negotiating skills training, all while engaging them with interactive workshops and training through an annual conference and frequent regional connection opportunities.

 

Why do we do it?

This organization is dedicated to contributing to the ongoing success of Wyoming women! Connect2Women offers mindful, relevant, and unique content that benefits women directly, but also their teams, organizations, and families. When women participate in a Connect2Women workshop or event, they will return stronger, more confident, and more mindful leaders. 

“I really could see the clear intention to foster encouragement and getting outside of your comfort bubble of friends/familiar faces. I also greatly valued the vulnerability in the messages of the strong, brave women who spoke." 

—PAST ATTENDEE

How do we know it works?

Connect2Women’s approach works—and the results speak for themselves. We hear it in the feedback, and now research backs it up. A Harvard Business Review study found that well-curated women’s conferences significantly boost both income and optimism. Attendees were twice as likely to earn a promotion and three times as likely to receive a 10%+ pay increase within a year compared to those who hadn’t yet attended.

Our vision 

Uniting women to celebrate, inspire and be inspired, mentoring others to become exceptional leaders for our current and future communities. 

Our goals 

INSPIRE yourself to consistently reach higher, learn new skills, and achieve all you can  

ENGAGE yourself with an energetic group of trailblazers on the heels of our current leaders  

IMPACT yourself and others through personal and professional development, sharing the ways we are    the same, celebrating the ways we are all different
