THRIVE.
Lander Womentum seeks to create personal and professional connections among women. We bring self-identified women together for inspiration through connection with others whom they may not have occasion to interact with in their daily lives. Lander Womentum participants are doing large and small things to make our world a better place.
The nature of the connections requires trust in each individual’s ability to hold confidentiality and respect for other perspectives as a top priority. We ask participants to be willing to be vulnerable and bring their authentic selves as members of a cohort.
We have found that a smaller group size helps to develop the kinds of meaningful and dynamic interactions ripe for personal development, brave vulnerability, and generating new ideas. For these reasons, the Leadership Team limits the cohort size to 12-20 individuals, depending on the year. Applicants who are not offered a spot in the current cohort are prioritized the following year.
This program is a seven-month commitment. Please plan to attend all sessions, with special consideration for the first and last. These two sessions are mandatory; please only apply if you can attend both. We know that unexpected conflicts arise in our lives, but the program is designed with an assumption that participants will attend the vast majority of sessions, meet with their partner at least monthly, and do some necessary preparation for monthly gatherings.

Selection Process
The Leadership Team will review applications with the goal of creating a cohesive cohort, where every individual feels challenged—yet comfortable enough to be vulnerable—as we tackle complicated and personal topics. We take into consideration applicants’ schedules and goals, as well as the interests and diversity of the group/cohort. If you are not selected this year, we maintain a waiting list and encourage you to apply again.
