Leadership comes in many shapes and forms. Leadership may be displayed when a mother joins the workforce to provide for her children or when a young Ho-Chuck woman is elected to the House of Representatives.

During my time in the Indigenous Visionaries: Women’s Leadership Program, I have not only been blessed with a wonderful learning opportunity, but I have met great women who provided support and encouragement throughout the year. I am not only walking away with additional knowledge but gaining more sisters in Indian Country.

Pidamaya (Thank you)!!
