We’re excited to introduce Women Leaders – Promoting Peace and Security, a Regional Project for Europe that explores women’s vital role in advancing peaceful political transitions, post-conflict reconstruction, and conflict prevention. This program will highlight women’s efforts at all levels—local, national, and international—alongside key strategies such as collaboration, coalition building, and advocacy for peace and security. Today, participants met at Garbett Homes headquarters to discuss Utah women’s community impact, led by Better Days 2020's Executive Director Katherine Kitterman, Ph.D., and Historical Director Rebekah Clark. The conversation centered on storytelling, advocacy, and public policy, followed by a visit to the “A Path Forward” memorial celebrating women's suffrage in Utah. Stay tuned for more updates as we engage with incredible women leaders dedicated to peace and societal prosperity! #WomenLeaders #PeaceAndSecurity #BetterDays2020 #Empowerment #IVLP #UtahGlobalDiplomacy

Day 1 of Women Leaders – Promoting Peace and Security was a powerful start! 💪 We began by meeting with Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office Rosie Rivera, the first woman in her role, and Undersheriff Cynthia Archuleta, where we discussed the challenges and triumphs of women breaking barriers in law enforcement. Next, we connected with Nicole Carpenter at the Women's Leadership Institute (pictured here) to learn about the ElevateHER Challenge, a powerful initiative to promote women in leadership. We concluded the day with Sister Andrea Muñoz Spannaus, who shared the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Relief Society's global humanitarian efforts and how women come together to transform communities. 🌍 A powerful day of learning and leading! #UtahGlobalDiplomacy #IVLP #WomenInLeadership #PromotingPeace #ElevateHER #WomenLead
