Women's Leadership Lab

As leaders, women - and women of color -
are struggling to get to the very top.

Less than 26% of CEOs are women and only 4% are held by women of color.
Support your talented emerging leaders with access to the
Colorado Women's Chamber Foundation Leadership Development Program.

We need more women in the highest levels of leadership.

  • Less than 26% of CEOs are women and only 4% are held by women of color

  • Only 10.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women

  • In 2022, women made about 82 cents for every dollar earned by a white non-Hispanic man

  • Black women make 62 cents for every dollar earned

  • Native American women make 57 cents for every dollar earned by a white non-Hsipanic man

  • Latina women make 54 cents for every dollar a white man earns

The CWCC is working to change these statistics
and we need more dynamic leaders like you.
