Icons of Influence
A 130th Anniversary Celebration
Icons of Influence
Join us for Icons of Influence, an elegant and celebratory evening marking 130 years of the Women’s Democratic Club of Utah—and the women who have shaped political power, progress, and change in our state.
Raise a glass as we honor trailblazers past and present, from early suffragists and labor leaders to today’s organizers and elected officials, while enjoying elevated bites, craft cocktails, curated wines and non-alcoholic beverages, live music, and a lively auction atmosphere.
Come dressed as a woman who inspires you—an icon, trailblazer, or glass-ceiling breaker—and help bring history to life in a creative, meaningful way.
We’ll also honor Utah women leading today, including Angela Romero, Karen Kwan, Hoang Nguyen, Rosie Rivera, Sherrie Swensen, and Karen Shepherd, among others.
Together, we celebrate how far women have come—and the progress still ahead.

These are women who have led in politics, advocacy, business, and community leadership, expanding what is possible for future generations. It’s a meaningful moment woven into a larger night of connection, conversation, live music, and celebration.
