CU Leeds School Women's Council

The Women's Council Mission:

To support the mission of the University of Colorado's Leeds School of Business by providing access and connection for students to successful women business leaders, who will provide their support and expertise, and nourish both students and other women in our community to live up to their potential as entrepreneurs and leaders in business.

As Deming Center ambassadors, we value

Leadership

We are catalysts of positive change in our businesses and our communities.

Innovation

We are creative problem-solvers who look at problems in new ways to create better solutions.

Access

We are resources for each other to learn and grow, inspire and be inspired.

The Women’s Council, an outgrowth of the Leeds School of Business, is a critical asset in the school’s educational mission. Women's Council members speak in classrooms, mentor students and student teams, act as judges in business plan competitions, and reach out to potential students to tell them about the many resources available at the school and in the Boulder community. In doing so, these women not only contribute important information related to their areas of expertise and experience, but they also act as role models for our students (future business leaders), highlighting how effective and accomplished women leaders can be. They also participate in important leadership roles, and help us shape our overall strategy; Women's Council members serve on the Leeds School's Deming Center Board of Directors and head up efforts related to topics such as undergraduate engagement.
