Fort Lewis College has announced a four-week women’s leadership series in response to “strong feedback” from attendees of the February Durango Women’s Leadership Conference, the school said in a news release.
The Women’s Leadership Conference was held for the second year Feb. 26 on the Fort Lewis College campus, and proceeds benefited FLC Women’s Athletics.
“Attendees of February’s conference consistently shared a common request: more time with presenters to move from inspiration to application,” the release read. “The Women’s Leadership in Practice Series responds directly to that call, offering interactive workshops that focus on practical tools, guided activities, and real-world leadership strategies.”
The series, which will run from 4:30 to 6 p.m. each Tuesday in April at the Fort Lewis College Center for Innovation, will leave participants with “tangible takeaways such as a plan, framework, tool, or personal insight to support their leadership journey,” the release said.

Four speakers are slated to lead the respective sessions.
According to the release, Tuesday’s session, led by Michelle Flemmings, will be focused on clarifying leadership objectives and creating an actionable plan; the April 14 session, led by Maggie Emerson, will explore how identity shapes decision-making, confidence and financial growth; the April 21 session, led by Melissa May, will tackle recognizing and responding to burnout; and the April 28 session, led by Robin Duffy-Wirth, will center around confidence, courage and meaningful change.
“This series is about building confidence, creating meaningful connections, and giving participants tools they can immediately apply ‒ while also fostering a strong network of support across the region,” said Phelps Feeley, assistant director of workforce and community relations at Fort Lewis College, in the release.
