Abstract
In September 2013, the Center for American Progress re-leased a report titled “The State of Women in America: A 50-State Analysis of How Women Are Faring Across the Na-tion.”1 This report ranks Utah last of all 50 states in terms of women being in positions of decision making and leadership. Although the focus is solely on the percentage of women in elected office and private sector management positions, we feel that a more detailed look on the status of women in lead-ership in various sectors within the state would be useful. This is the second of four 2014 briefs, each of which com-pares national data with Utah data and provides a pertinent literature review. The first provides data on women in Utah politics; subsequent ones will focus on women leaders in ed-ucation and business. This brief focuses on the status of women leaders in Utah nonprofit organizations.
