Momentum’s Executive Leadership Program


The Executive Leadership Program is unlike any other. (Momentum)
The Executive Leadership Program is Momentum’s principal leadership initiative.
Made up of around 25-30 participants, each year’s Momentum class is hand-picked by alumnae in search of participants from varying backgrounds, occupations and levels of experience.
The program is evidently a success, as noted by these statistics:
- 550+ Momentum graduates between Birmingham + Huntsville
- 93% of graduates went on to sponsor or mentor other women
- 72% of graduates experienced upward mobility after completing the program
Lessons learned at Momentum’s Executive Leadership Program are invaluable, with their core values at the forefront of every event:
“Having participated in over a dozen leadership programs, I can confidently say that what sets Momentum apart is its unwavering focus on personal growth and development, and the invaluable network of accomplished women from diverse backgrounds.
Thanks to the comprehensive training and guidance provided through the program, I feel far better equipped to lead with authenticity and confidence.”
