Fishing For Leaders: Scaling Women's Leadership Through Sustainable Workplace Narratives

As workplaces rapidly evolve, women - especially in mid-sized regional markets - remain underrepresented in leadership and constrained by outdated narratives of who leads and how. We seek $5 million over three years to scale the Greater Missouri Leadership Challenge through an innovative partnership with Harrison Fishery, creating a sustainable funding model that expands access, elevates women's leadership stories, mitigates bias, and models inclusive leadership. The result: a durable, replicable system that reshapes workplace narratives so women - and organizations - can thrive.
