  • Empowering Leaders & Elevating Change with Jennifer Kenny! We had an incredible Workshop Session with Jennifer Kenny, last week, on 100% Capacity Leadership, diving deep into gender dynamics in leadership and how we can drive meaningful change. The energy and commitment in the room were truly inspiring. We’re excited to carry these insights forward as we work toward expanding leadership opportunities, and equality for women in Northern Nevada through our new initiative, The Summit Project.
