Women Leading Behind the Walls: Leadership in Utah’s Correctional Facilities
Panel Discussion/Presentation
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.

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.

Leadership in Times of Grief & Crisis: Insights from President Astrid S. Tuminez
Panel Discussion/Presentation
For the seventh webinar in this series, Dr. Susan R. Madsen will moderate a powerful conversation with Dr. Astrid S. Tuminez, the seventh president of Utah Valley University. President Tuminez has faced profound challenges in 2025, including the loss of her husband earlier this year and the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk that occurred on her own campus. Yet resilience has defined her journey from the very beginning—growing up in an impoverished farming community and the slums of a major city in the Philippines.
This webinar will explore what it means to lead through grief and crisis, while also examining the complexities of guiding a large institution of higher education in uncertain times. President Tuminez will share leadership lessons she has learned throughout her career, as well as the unique challenges and opportunities she has encountered as both a woman and a woman of color.
Join us for this timely and inspiring discussion on women in leadership, with a special focus on navigating loss, crisis, and the demands of leadership with courage and compassion.
