Women Leading Behind the Walls: Leadership in Utah’s Correctional Facilities

Join us for a compelling women’s leadership webinar featuring Dr. Susan R. Madsen in conversation with Sharon D’Amico and Kristin Keisel, two wardens leading correctional facilities in Utah. This dialogue will explore the unique pathways that drew them into leadership, the challenges they face in navigating complex correctional environments, and the opportunities they see for innovation, equity, and impact within the system. As women in a traditionally male-dominated field, D’Amico and Keisel bring powerful insights into resilience, collaboration, and the importance of fostering safe, rehabilitative spaces for both staff and incarcerated individuals. Dr. Madsen will guide the discussion to highlight lessons learned, strategies for effective leadership, and the broader implications for advancing women’s leadership across sectors. Whether you are an advocate, educator, student, or professional, this webinar offers a rare opportunity to hear firsthand experiences from women shaping correctional leadership in Utah. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation on courage, vision, and the future of women leading in corrections.
