COWGIRL Launches Leadership Academy
May 31, 2026
Following the largest and most successful COWGIRL 30 Under 30 Leadership Summit in our organization's history, COWGIRL Magazine is proud to officially launch the COWGIRL Leadership Academy.
What began as a simple idea—to connect, recognize, and elevate women across the Western industry—has grown into something much larger. The Academy is the next step in that journey.
The COWGIRL Leadership Academy was created for women who lead, aspire, build, mentor, innovate, and make a difference. Whether you're just beginning your career, growing a business, leading a team, or looking for meaningful connections with other women in the Western industry, this community was built for you.
Available Now
As part of our launch, members gain lifetime access to the Complete 2026 COWGIRL Leadership Summit Collection, featuring more than six hours of leadership training, mentorship, keynote presentations, panel discussions, and candid conversations from 28 influential women representing agriculture, business, entrepreneurship, media, rodeo, and Western lifestyle.
The collection includes:
- All 10 Leadership Summit Sessions
- Amanda Kimes of Kimes Ranch Keynote Presentation
- The Complete Girl Talk Series
- The Full Wrangler COWGIRL 30 Under 30 Empowered Gala
More Than Videos
While the Summit Collection serves as the Academy's foundation, our vision extends far beyond a single event.
The COWGIRL Leadership Academy is designed to become a year-round destination for leadership development, education, mentorship, networking, and professional growth.
In the months ahead, members can expect:
- Exclusive educational content
- Live virtual conversations and leadership sessions
- Member networking opportunities
- Access to COWGIRL Leaders and 30 Under 30 Alumni
- Leadership resources and career development tools
- Special events and Academy gatherings
- Preferred member pricing on future Academy programs
Founding Members
Those joining us during this launch period will become Founding Members of the COWGIRL Leadership Academy—a group of women who will help shape the future of this community from the very beginning.
Together, we are creating a place where leadership is encouraged, connections are formed, and women across the Western industry can continue learning from one another long after the Summit ends.
The Summit may be over.
The conversation is just beginning.
Welcome to the COWGIRL Leadership Academy.
