Women in Leadership Lunch featuring Cindy McLaughlin
Rendezvous Bistro in Jackson
Thursday, November 11, 2010, 12:00pm
On November 11, 2010 Womentum featured keynote speaker Cindy McLaughlin, Co-Founder and CEO of Style for Hire at its third Women in Leadership Luncheon at noon at the Rendezvous Bistro in Jackson.
“Cindy [McLaughlin] and I started Style for Hire based on a belief that everyone – not just the rich and famous – should be able to get personal help with style,” says co-founder Stacy London of TLC’s “What Not to Wear.” Ultimately, the change Style for Hire delivers is not hemlines or colors, but rather its clients’ improved sense of confidence.
Ms. McLaughlin’s talk on November 11 focused on her experience as an entrepreneur and woman in corporate leadership, and attendees were challenged to advance their own personal, professional and civic leadership. “For me the rewards of entrepreneurship have been vast and varied,” said Ms. McLaughlin, “I’ve kept long hours, lived the proverbial emotional roller coaster, and enjoyed work more than ever before.” Ms. McLaughlin has deep fashion industry knowledge and experience, most recently, as co-founder and CEO of Abaete, a NYC-based women’s better-contemporary apparel brand. She holds an MBA from MIT/Sloan and a BA from Mt Holyoke College.

In March 2007, Womentum hosted a sell-out “Women in Leadership” lunch and panel discussion at the Rendezvous Bistro in Jackson. The featured speaker was Marie C.

One of this organization’s most innovative programs is “Vote, Run, Lead,” which provides a roadmap for addressing the issues she raises in her book, Closing the Leadership Gap: Why Women Can and Must Help Run the World.
Other panelists included Wyoming First Lady Nancy Freudenthal, Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Marilyn Kite, Gov. Dave Campaign Field Coordinator Katie Freudenthal, and Jackson Town Councilwoman Melissa Turley.

Jackson Hole
Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:00pm
In March of 2005 and 2006, Womentum hosted LUNAFEST, the first-of-its-kind film festival in Wyoming where the movies are made by, for, and about women in celebration of International Women’s Day.
On March 6, 2005, Womentum hosted their first awareness raising community event in Jackson: LUNAFEST, and were overwhelmed by the success of the event – eager viewers overflowed the Teton Theater, and people were turned away at the door. First Lady of Wyoming Nancy Freudenthal was the keynote speaker at the event. She spoke regarding the status of women in Wyoming, particularly in regards to the Wyoming Self Sufficiency Standard that was released in February 2005.
Womentum again hosted LunaFest on March 5, 2006 at the Mainstage Theater in Jackson. Jackson was buzzing with anticipation about this event and it proved itself by attracting approximately 300 people to a matinee and evening show. In attendance were Governor Dave Freudenthal and his wife Nancy, who kicked off the seven o’clock show by speaking about being a woman in Wyoming, and presented the first ever Atta Girl awards on behalf of The Equipoise Fund.
