A Note from Kathi Garff…

Thank you for your dedication, talents, and generous contributions to our community!  A special thank you for renewing your memberships for the 2024-2025 year and helping make this program possible. Your commitment to Women Who Succeed empowers countless young women around Utah, and your time and resources are the driving force behind our collective success.  Your continued support fuels our mission, and I am grateful for your ongoing commitment to our shared vision to provide young women opportunities to grow confidence and leadership skills. I look forward to seeing all of you at all of our fantastic events planned for this coming year!

March is Women Who Succeed
Founder’s Month

Our annual Founders Day celebration is coming up soon. We will be hosting a tea party on Wednesday, March 27th at 12pm. We will gather in the Orangerie at Red Butte Garden for a garden tea party luncheon and hear from Founder Kathi Garff and Co-Founder Erin Trenbeath-Murray. We invite you to stroll through the indoor conservatory full of exotic flowering plants and citrus trees, and have your photo taken against the floor-to-ceiling living wall. Each guest will go home with tea themed trinkets and tea party favors to help you relax and reflect on your time well spent with us this year.   Tea party dresses and hats are welcomed and encouraged. Seating is limited and will sell out for this special event so RSVP early through this link:  Founders Day Tea
