Impact Center announces 2013 Women's Leadership Fellows

The Impact Center has announced the 2013 Class of Women's Leadership Fellows. The high-potential women who make up this class come from such diverse professional fields as law, medicine, technology, education, military, government and the arts. Each one has achieved impressive success early in her career and is poised to take on greater leadership roles that will make a difference in our society.

The Impact Center conducted a nationally competitive search for the best and brightest in the public, private and non-profit sectors. These women rose above the rest because of their extraordinary experiences as leaders and demonstrated commitment to giving back and helping others succeed.

"The members of the 2013 class are talented individuals who are shaping the future" remarked John Hart, Founder and CEO of the Impact Center. "The program is designed to enhance their skills and expand their impact on society."

The Impact Center's 2013 Women's Leadership Fellows representing Vermont is Kiah Morris , Community Health Improvement Specialist at Southwestern Vermont Health Care.

The Impact Center is a 501(c) 3 organization committed to leveling the playing field for diverse women leaders. At the heart of this leadership program is a dynamic mentoring model and a series of innovative programs that will develop their skills and expand their networks. The fellows will be paired with accomplished mentors who will provide them with feedback and guidance to not only help them ascend within their careers but to also expand their societal impact. A key component of this year-long program is exposure to premier institutions and inspirational leaders who offer aspirational models in the public, private and non-profit sectors.

The 2013 Women's Leadership Fellows came together for the first time as a group at the Impact Center's Women's Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. to engage with senior leaders in powerful discussions on how to thrive as a women leaders and maximize their impact on their organization and our society. Fellows went to the White House for a roundtable discussion with senior Administration officials and came away inspired to make a difference in their careers.
