About this podcast
Elevating Pikes Peak Women is produced by Pikes Peak Women. Our purpose is to provide a platform where women in the Pikes Peak region can become engaged and discuss civic issues about which they care deeply.
We’ve provided platforms to address healthcare reform, pay equity, community innovation and investment, along with facilitating the meaningful contribution of women at all levels of business, government and community. Issues may include women’s health and safety, challenges with career and family, or the actions of politicians for or against women’s rights. While such issues may be emotionally charged, we expect and maintain civility among all.
We are committed to the deliberate recruitment and support of women in leadership positions and actively work on issues that make a difference. Pikes Peak Women is an independent nonprofit, coordinated by volunteer effort.
This is a two-way conversation – we’d love to hear from YOU about the topics you think are most important to women. What’s keeping you up at night? What’s blocking you from achieving your dreams? What do you want to learn more about? Please email us at [email protected] or post on our facebook page with your story ideas and concerns.
Find us interesting? Follow our podcast wherever you listen……..share with your friends. But most of all – engage and listen! We look forward to sharing intriguing and important women’s stories with you!
