The Women's Leadership Initiative

Today we bring you a conversation with three amazing women working together on an exciting and important program at the University of Montana - The Women’s Leadership Initiative. WLI’s purpose is to accelerate women’s careers of impact. It was initiated by former UM president Royce Engstrom in 2015 and was relaunched by President Seth Bodnar, with the generous support of Clearwater Credit Union and private contributions from folks like Denise Grills. In this conversation, we speak with Denise about why she invested in WLI. Denise is joined by UM Psychology Professor and Department Chair Chris Fiore, a key faculty advisor to the program, as well as Glenda Bradshaw, board member of Clearwater and owner of Clyde Coffee.
