Companies Championing Women is a research-based recognition and engagement program that highlights organizations making meaningful progress in developing, retaining and advancing women in the workplace.
Created through a partnership between the Utah Women & Leadership Project, the Women’s Leadership Institute, PowerHouse Events and the Salt Lake Business Journal, the program combines data-driven evaluation with year-round leadership development opportunities.
Participating organizations gain access to exclusive events, benchmarking insights, recognition opportunities and a community of leaders committed to building stronger workplaces across Utah.
Based on the results, organizations may earn recognition as a Company Championing Women. There is no cost to complete the assessment or to be listed as a participating organization. The 2026 assessment closed on July 27 — results are being reviewed now, and honorees will be announced at the August 27 luncheon.
The future of Utah’s economy depends on fully utilizing the talent, leadership and contributions of women. Companies Championing Women recognizes the organizations helping make that future possible — come see who they are.
