What it’s all about

The Brio Collective is a transformational experience for women across the state to reflect, connect, and ignite their spirit alongside a cohort of 26 inspirational women. This six-week intensive program is facilitated through an in-person retreat followed by five consecutive weeks of virtual speakers and workshops. Brio means ‘with vigor’ or ‘spirited’ -- join Wyoming’s influential and impactful women leaders to be inspired, gain knowledge, and form meaningful relationships.

The most meaningful part was the ability to build strong relationships with the women in the collective. The networking around the state (and yay for the local connections) is key to partnering in ways to keep our communities and state a good place to be.

It was so impactful for me to hear stories of how other women are navigating challenges and opportunities in their personal and professional lives. In particular, I loved hearing from other mothers as I came to realize I’m not ‘alone’ and that there are tons of kickass ladies who are also learning to manage the ‘chaos’ in their lives.
— Teddi Freedman, Director of Development, University of Wyoming Foundation
