Leadership Program
We need more women in the highest levels of leadership.
As leaders, women and women of color are struggling to get to the very top.
-
Only 32% of CEOs are women
-
Only 8.8% of Fortune 500 CEOs are Women
-
Since 2000, there have been 151 women and people of color appointed CEOs to Fortune 500 companies
-
2021 it was the first time in history that two black women were appointed CEO of Fortune 500 companies
-
As of March 2022, only 6 CEO's in the S&P 500 were women of color and only 2 identified as LGBTQ
The CWCC is working to change these statistics and we need more dynamic leaders like you. Support your talented emerging leaders with access to the 2022-2023 CWCC Women of Influence and Impact Leadership program.
