Female business leaders of today are helping the female leaders of tomorrow. Research from Catalyst, McKinsey, Gallup, and Credit Suisse demonstrates gender equity isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the profitable thing to do. Simply put, companies embracing gender equity outperform the competition. For seven years, the leaders of Women Accelerators have promoted and helped increased gender equity in the workplace. Now, with the business community at large coming to understand the importance of gender equity it’s time to expand.
And to expand we need your help.
Women Accelerators, a 501(c)(6) organization, promotes the advancement of career women. Years ago, we recognized glaring gender biases such as wage gender disparity, representation inequity, and under-representation of senior-level women in the boardroom. We set out to build a platform capable of reaching and shattering the glass ceiling holding us back.
Women Accelerators provides an active network and community where women can access resources tailored to their career goals. Through our educational programs, networking events, and mentoring efforts, we help women navigate work opportunities and nurture female leadership. Together, we’re building a community of goal-driven, high-achieving women who help each other thrive and succeed in the workplace.
We’re active.
Every two months, we offer educational and career-oriented events featuring discussions and Q&A sessions from nationally-recognized women leaders. Our mentoring program offers a five-month experience matching selected mentees to experienced mentors volunteering their time to help tomorrow’s women leaders. Mentees receive career guidance, salary negotiation suggestions, tips regarding communications with peers and supervisors, and advice on how to balance their work and personal lives.
With the amazing support of ambitious women in our community, as attendees, speakers or volunteers, we have been fortunate to have gained great momentum over the years. Currently, Women Accelerators receives revenue through small fees charged for each event registration and for the annual mentoring program. We believe that we can make an even bigger impact moving forward if we offer our community with more career programming that will help women better navigate their career paths and enhance their careers overall.
Our financial goal is to reach $5,000 by the end of 2018, so we can offer the following in 2019:
- Six free educational/career programs in addition to our current programs
- Quarterly networking events
- A Job bank on our website that will list open jobs from corporate partners
- Additional events and meet-ups for women to network with companies and hiring managers
