The Women in Leadership Forum welcomes Katie Hughes, executive director of Girls Build, on Tuesday, February 25, at 6 p.m., in Franz 120. All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to hear Katie’s story of leadership. The Women in Leadership Forum connects the UP community with dynamic women who are leaders in the greater Portland community. The Forum is a place for sharing stories, building connections, and supporting the development of women in leadership.
Katie is a carpenter with a social work degree earned at UP in 2002 who, after spending 10 years teaching construction to adults and kids, founded Girls Build. She believes that all girls should be curious and confident, and that one route to that is through learning the building trades.
