On October 15th, Momentum Leaders celebrated the graduation of Huntsville’s inaugural Upward class. We are so excited for Huntsville’s start with the upward program and this first class of wonderful women. Over the course of nine months, participants dedicated themselves to intentional growth through Momentum’s leadership development experience.
Participants developed a stronger understanding of their values and leadership styles. They learned how to communicate effectively across different work environments and lead with confidence. Beyond the classroom, participants gain lasting fulfillment in their work and sharpen their ability to lead teams with collaboration.
“This program was truly life-changing — it challenged me to grow, reflect, and lead with more intention than ever before. I had the privilege of learning alongside the most amazing, powerful, and thoughtful group of women who I will cherish forever,” Huntsville Upward Class 1 participant.
Momentum is thrilled to see the success of Huntsville’s first Upward class and the impact they are already making in their workplaces and communities. As these women continue to lead, they are paving the way for the next generation of female leaders across North Alabama.
“Leading the inaugural group of Upward has been one of the most transformative chapters of my life—witnessing women rise, support one another, and step boldly into their power has reaffirmed that when we invest in each other, we elevate everyone,” Amy Gandy, Director of Programs at Momentum Leaders, North Alabama
The Upward program runs from February to October and features two cohorts of approximately 30 women each: one for early career and one for mid-career. Each class session is half-day, one cohort in the morning and the second cohort in the afternoon. To learn more about the Upward program and how to get involved, click here.
