The Leadership Inventory for Female Executives (LIFE) program is an innovative program designed to empower women in public safety by bridging the existing gap of female representation at executive levels in Texas and nationwide. This program fosters professional growth, personal development, and strategic career planning tailored to current and aspiring female leaders.
