Over the past several months, our Board has been engaged in a thoughtful mission and vision realignment process. When Go Lead Idaho was founded, it was built by an incredible group of women leaders (many of whom continue to serve our community today) to create a space to motivate women to lead and to demonstrate why it matters. As our organization, community, and Board continue to evolve, we wanted to ensure we are honoring that legacy while also creating space to grow, adapt, and meet the moment ahead.
Throughout this process, we kept coming back to the same foundation —that the true strength of this organization lies in women empowering one another and building genuine community. To us this looks like — learning together, supporting one another, and building momentum both individually and collectively.
We also had meaningful conversations about leadership — what it looks like, how it shows up, and what it truly means. What stood out most was how leadership shows up in each of our lives and in the various ways that it does. We lead in our workplaces, on boards, in our communities, at home, and in countless other ways. Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all — and every form of it matters. Our goal is for women to see themselves as leaders exactly where they are today and feel supported wherever their journey takes them. When we expand how we define leadership and believe it in one another, that confidence carries forward — and together, that becomes powerful.
With that, I’m excited to share our new mission and vision before we release them more broadly:
Revised Mission
Empowering women to lead together by creating opportunities, building community, and redefining leadership.
Revised Vision
We envision an Idaho where women leaders connect, inspire, and learn from one another.
Reflecting on the Past Year
Serving as Board President this past year has been an incredible experience. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a thoughtful, engaged, and passionate Board as we’ve focused on strengthening our foundation and positioning the organization for both long-term impact & success. This work has required reflection, collaboration, and shared commitment — and I’m deeply grateful for the leadership and dedication of our Board members.
We hope this next chapter is impactful for our current members and continues to inspire new women to join the Go Lead Idaho community. Thank you for being part of this journey — your leadership, support, and commitment are what make this organization thrive.
Sincerely,
Sierra White
Go Lead Idaho President
