WRIN’s “Voices of NEW Leadership Nevada” oral history project aims to capture the experiences and impact of our program on alumnae, community supporters, and staff at the 10th anniversary of NEW Leadership Nevada.

Kristin Guthrie is responsible for the design, production and post-production of Voices and its accompanying digital archive. She collaborated with 2012 Program Manager Alma Castro and WRIN Director Dr. Joanne Goodwin.

This project is part of the greater Las Vegas Women Oral History Project.

The full archive is not available online. If you are interested in accessing the full digital archive, please contact WRIN to schedule a research session.
