How Women Lead is a national organization of top executive women focused on activating their individual and collective power to influence the change they want to see in the world through leadership, investment and philanthropy. The goal for How Women Lead is to achieve equity for women -- and particularly women of color -- by driving representation and opportunities across all aspects of life and career. How Women Lead advocates for top executive women by affecting change at all levels through a proven, four-step strategy: by affecting systems reform, mobilizing a movement, offering training, and giving access to opportunities. How Women Lead continues to grow, currently working with thousands of women in more than 40 countries; we grow every day as top women executives invite their colleagues, partners and associates around the world into the community.
