Advancement Opportunities

July 07, 2017  |  By Erika Rasmussen

Resume material, anyone? This is the time to step out of your comfort zone. In addition to sharing relevant opportunities to advance your career, we strive to provide volunteer opportunities for women to establish themselves as leaders. As the only statewide women's leadership initiative, we hold a lot of clout in Montana. Here are some opportunities PowerHouse Montana provides for you to grow, build your personal brand, and be part of something big. The only requirement is a willingness to help other women and having a profile on PowerHouse Montana. Other ideas? Let's talk!

Blog

We're looking for regular blog contributors on the subjects of women’s entrepreneurship and leadership, STEM (for girls and women), equal pay for equal work, paid leave, work/life balance, or networking and mentorship. Interested in a one-time deal? Sign up for a date here. http://bit.ly/2tDakVC Want to become a recurring voice? We are also looking for contributors to do monthly or every-other monthly posts, anywhere from 300-500+ words long. Email Jen Euell at jeneuell@mtcf.org and we can come up with a plan that is right for you.

Instagram Takeovers

Every other Wednesday, we have a different woman take over our Instagram account for 24 hours (@powerhousemontana). Instagram takeovers are typically anywhere from 6-8 posts, and at least one post must have content from one of our targeted areas: women’s entrepreneurship and leadership, STEM (for girls and women), equal pay for equal work, paid leave, or networking and mentorship. We do not allow selling or business promotion, but it is possible that the visibility from your takeover could convert to more clients or customers. This is more than your business--this is about you! Read more about the Instagram takeovers and sign up for a date here: http://bit.ly/2u0rqNM You will be contacted the Monday before your takeover with log-in information.

Organize a #MentorMondayMT for women in your area

#MentorMondayMT is a series of events across the state of Montana that happen on the fourth Monday of every month. These events were created as a way to encourage mentorship and networking among Montana women. Organizing a #MentorMondayMT is a great way to establish yourself as a leader in your community. The events are free and open to all, and organized solely by volunteers in the community, with PowerHouse committing to help promote the event. Both men and women leave #MentorMondayMT events feeling connected and inspired. Read more about #MentorMondayMT, read the Organizer Guide and Event Kits, and watch our 23-minute webinar here. Sign up to organize: Billings // Bozeman // Helena // Missoula Communities with active committees: Great Falls, Flathead, Havre (email Jen at jeneuell@mtcf.org if you are interested in joining one!) No #MentorMondayMT in your community? Let's start one! Email us to see how we can work together to organize one in your area.
