WHY WEL MATTERS
Studies show organizations with gender diversity in leadership achieve higher performance levels.
Yet only 25% of women are in senior leadership roles, only 7.4% of women are in CEO roles,
and only 22.6% of women hold board seats nationally (source: Russell 3000 companies as of September 2020).
WEL is a not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose is to increase the number of women serving on corporate
boards and in the executive suite through advocating, educating, and connecting accomplished women leaders.
Join WEL to support a more successful community and advance gender parity in the C-Suite and
Boardroom for an amazing group of women leaders—current and future.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“WEL provides thoughtful and intentional programs that are meant to help increase the number of women in the C-Suite and Corporate Boards and to further the mission of gender diversity. WEL is not just doing this because it’s the right thing to do, but because statistically speaking, it’s been shown that organizations with gender diversity perform far better than their peers who don’t.”

Penny Parks
President & Founder
“The combination of commitment to board diversity, the educational programs, and the opportunity for senior executive women to network with other members and organizations is what WEL is all about.”

Beth Simonetti
EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer
“WEL is a safe place and opportunity for accomplished executive women to network and build relationships and actionable plans to move into a corporate board.”
