Ruth Bader Ginsburg has famously said, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” As a leader, how many women have you advocated for a CEO job, a board, or more capital? How are you committed to DEI leadership and commitment to purpose with DEI and ESG? Whatever you’re currently doing, let’s double that support. Empowering gender equality and achieving diversity in leadership positions not only fosters a more just and inclusive society but also brings tangible benefits to businesses and the economy as a whole. None of us can drive change alone. We can do this together by setting clear goals and collaborating as we advance and celebrate others. The emphasis is on “WE.”
As a Founder of C200 and board member for other women’s organizations—including the Women Business Collaborative(WBC) where I am currently Board Chair (after serving as CEO for four years during the building phase) —I’ve spent my career promoting the advancement of women for corporate, entrepreneurship, and board roles. I founded a member service for diversity practitioners: Diversity Best Practices, STEMconnector®, a resource to produce STEM results and connections with STEM Leaders in every sector, and have cultivated 2.5M women mentors through Million Women Mentors (MWM)
