In this episode, we discuss a recently released research brief titled “100 Companies Championing Women in 2025: Best Practices for Utah Companies.” State leaders frequently emphasize Utah's reputation as a hub of innovation and economic opportunity. Yet, for the 11th consecutive year, WalletHub ranked Utah as the worst state for women's equality, placing it last in “workplace environment,” including income disparities and representation in leadership roles. Extensive research continues to confirm that many Utah women are not fully thriving in their workplaces. Recognizing this long-standing challenge, the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP), and the Cox–Henderson administration launched 100 Companies Championing Women (100 CCW) in 2022. Originally part of the Inspire InUtah campaign, the initiative aimed to highlight Utah businesses that are implementing strategies to recruit better, hire, retain, and advance women at all levels, including entrepreneurs. Due to its success, the program expanded into a three-year effort. Today, we will be looking more into the new brief, which summarizes data from the third and final year of the campaign. Dr. Susan Madsen, an Extension Professor of Leadership at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the UWLP and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by Deborah Lin, Local Outreach & Resource Manager for the UWLP at Utah State University, who has assisted with the 100 Companies Championing Women nominations all three years of the campaign. Support the show

In this episode, we discuss a recently released white paper titled “Belonging in Utah: Findings from Community Conversations with Women of Color.” The white paper draws from seven focus groups with Women of Color along the Wasatch Front to identify shared and community-specific themes related to their experiences.

Understanding what helps Utah women of color build a sense of belonging shows us not only where the state is progressing, but where meaningful work still needs to be done. In today's episode, we'll break down what belonging looks like, why it matters, and how these insights can guide efforts to make Utah a better place for everyone. Dr. Susan Madsen, an Extension Professor of Leadership at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by two guests.
