About Our Organization

To engage and unite women in efforts to increase participation, representation, and leadership in government through community building.

We dream of a world where Utah women have a true voice in their government. We’re about gathering Utah women’s diversity of lived experiences to ignite and empower civic engagement and political action.

We believe anyone—you!—can (and should) make a difference.

What We’re Doing

We’re focused on getting more women involved in the important conversations that affect their lives. Studies show that when women participate in decision making:

businesses become more profitable
education becomes more accessible
governments become more compassionate
nations become less violent

Gender inclusivity benefits not only businesses, but also churches, state legislatures, city councils, the state government, and society at large. Research validates that there are numerous benefits to attracting, retaining, promoting, and empowering women within organizations and the state. This topic is central to current discussions around meeting the state’s current and future needs and keeping Utah’s economy thriving. More generally, the United Nations continues to report that gender equality is “critical to all areas of a healthy society, from reducing poverty to promoting the health, education, protection and the well-being of both girls and boys.

When women sit at the table, everyone prospers. Yet Utah has been ranked dead last (50th out of the 50 states) year after year for women’s equality Utah has never had a woman representative in the U.S. Senate, and currently has no elected women in Congress. Only 25% of Utah’s legislators are women, and even fewer—20%—of Utah’s state-elected officials are women. Learn More

We believe that our government “by the people” works best when all voices are represented, and that lasting change begins at the grassroot level. This is why we’re focused on changing the way Utah voters participate in their government at its most fundamental level: the bi-annual neighborhood caucus meeting.
