McAleer ’87 Chosen to Join the Executive Leadership Program

Donna McAleer was selected by the Washington, DC-based Impact Center for its 2016 Women’s Executive Leadership Program after a highly competitive application and interview-based process to find the best and brightest women leaders in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Donna McAleer has extensive and varied leadership experience in public, private and not-for-profit corporations, including the People’s Health Clinic based in Park City. In 2013 the Secretary of Defense appointed Donna to serve on the Defense Advisory Council for Women in the Service (DACOWITS). She is an award-winning author and teaches skiing at Deer Valley. The Women’s Executive Leadership Program is designed to accelerate growth for women leaders at critical junctures in their careers. It includes two Retreats that focus on building a leadership identity, embracing strengths as a woman leader, and building social capital. In-between Retreats, leaders meet regularly with an experienced executive coach and monthly with peers to incorporate and refine new skills. Building long-term professional networks with a diverse community of peers and accomplished leaders is a distinguishing characteristic of this program.
