The Women’s Leadership Institute is an organization established to advance and improve the personal, economic, and professional status of women. Our activities and programs are designed to engage women in development initiatives that attract, develop, retain, and promote talented women seeking leadership growth or enhancement. We connect women across industries and demographics to help them address their most important leadership challenges.
A resource group of women leaders was convened to guide the production of our first conference on March 25, 2017, in recognition of Women’s History Month. Through consultation and research, ten topics were identified as having a crucial impact on leadership development. These topics were explored during panel discussions led by senior‑level women leaders who shared their personal journeys of career advancement, highlighting how they acquired the acumen needed to foster forward movement.
Our work empowers women to produce unprecedented results and to sustain meaningful change. Our focus on women’s leadership development is rooted in the belief that exponentially increasing the number and quality of women leaders strengthens our collective ability to innovate, collaborate, and improve the effectiveness of those who hold — or aspire to hold — leadership positions.
We understand that investing in leadership development for women is essential for social progress now and in the future.
