Women in Community
Leadership Panel Discussion
Standing on the shoulders of the women who came before
us. A cross-generational panel discussion with women who are serving their
communities.
Date: May 20, 2021
Time: Doors open at 5PM, Panel discussion begins at 6PM
Cost: Free
This powerful and provocative panel discussion will bring
together four inspiring women leaders from across Idaho and across generations
to share their perspectives and examine the impact that female leaders can have
on their communities. Listen in as these women discuss their journeys into
leadership as well as the impact leadership roles have had on them and other
women around them.
Moderated by Jana Kemp, who is featured in the Idaho State
Museum’s new exhibition Trailblazing Women of Idaho, the panel
will look at initiatives and opportunities to support women rising to top
leadership roles and inspiring them to think about the value-based paradigm
shifts they will affect once they get there. Conversations surround topics such
as resilience, fears, strengths, frustrations, and more.
This panel is free and open to the public. Time permitting,
audience members will have the opportunity to ask panelists questions. Cash bar
and concessions available for purchase. Limited capacity.

we already are.”

Panelist, Alina Rahim
In 2020 Alina Rahim received the Governor Cecil D. Andrus

goal of enticing local youth to become more active in politics and
volunteerism. They strive to make their community a better place through
initiatives like raising funds to support Idaho Foodbank’s mission. Rahim was

As she continues her impact on the community and her education, Rahim looks
forward to creating change nationally by starting locally.
