Advancing Women Through “Developmental Relationships”: A Dialogue with Global Experts
Panel Discussion/Presentation
The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for this Spring Women’s Leadership Forum.
Over the past 40 years, research has shown that “developmental relationships” facilitate career success, particularly for leaders. In addition, multiple developers (e.g., mentors, sponsors, or peers) enhance individuals’ learning, growth, and advancement. Globally recognized experts, Drs. Murphy and Kram have studied leadership, identity, and positive relationships at work to provide a foundation for understanding how to advance women through developmental relationships. In an interactive discussion with Dr. Susan R. Madsen, they will talk about five specific types of developmental relationships that are critical for developing women leaders: mentors, sponsors, peers, executive coaches, and learning partners. These relationships provide a range of supportive functions that both challenge and enable women to learn and thrive as they advance. The discussion will also cover strategies for individual women crafting these developmental relationships and ways that organizations can create and sustain a climate that fosters these connections.

Dr. Susan Madsen will be moderating a panel with Utah mental health professionals—Drs. Christy Kane, Gina Hales, and Jenet Jacob Erickson—as well as the founder of Provo Girls Summit, Tanei Atagi Henry, who will discuss these concerning findings as they relate to girls and young women in the state of Utah.

Denim Day Celebration
Special Event
In 1992, a sexual assault conviction was overturned in Rome, Italy by the Italian High Court because the victim had been wearing tight jeans. The court argued that because her jeans were tight she would have had to assist him in removing them, therefore giving him consent. Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans on the steps of the Supreme Court. Over the years wearing jeans on this anniversary has become an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual violence. Join in solidarity by wearing jeans on Wednesday, April 26th. Stop by our Denim Day barbecue for photo booth opportunities and to build community.
