Leadership Education and Advancement Pipeline (LEAP)®
An Award Winning Signature Series ​Exclusively By The Downtown Chamber of Commerce 

After finding out Iowa was ranked 51st in the nation for women's economic impact, the Downtown Chamber and LEAP board took initiative to tackle this glaring problem. By creating connections and guiding resources, Iowa is now ranked 8th. LEAP continues to inspire women to be bold and put faith in their entrepreneurial spirit. Together, we can support women-owned businesses and elevate women in all settings.​

LEAP's mission is to build a community that empowers and motivates women by helping them reach their fullest potential. The skill-building and networking program addresses career barriers, challenges traditional concepts, and provides inspiration for all aspects of life.

LEAP series is nonexclusive, open to women and men. The series is designed for the advancement of women's careers and women-owned businesses. 

Tickets are available for individual workshops and the 2020 LEAP Summit.
