Women and Policy, Strategy, Politics, and Change

The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you step into a world of inspiration and empowerment by joining our 2025 ten-part webinar “Women in Leadership Executive Speaker Series.” This series is a celebration of dynamic and influential women who have shattered the glass ceiling landscape in Utah.

For this webinar, Dr. Susan R. Madsen will interview Maura Carabello, President and Owner of The Exoro Group, on her thoughts about the role of women in politics, policy, strategy, communication, problem-solving, and change work in today’s world. As a decades long advisor and strategist to Utah’s top elected officials, nonprofit change agents, and business leaders, Maura will share her passion about doing this work and why it is critical for more women to do powerful work in this space. She will also discuss the benefits and challenges of being at the center of complex policy discussions and even highly controversial projects. As someone who gravitates to critical infrastructure, policy, and the hard work of change, Maura will share her insights on the crucial work needed in this space for Utah. Finally, Maura will respond to questions about her own leadership development journey and what she hopes for Utah moving forward.
