ELEVATE WOMEN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP BOARD
As a result of the Elevate Women Initiative on March 8, 2019 Elevate International
will announce the Elevate Women Executive Leadership Board.
At Elevate International we wholeheartedly believe in working with our community
to design our future together; which is why our call to action is uniting Executive
Women in leadership to define a leadership path for women to advance C-level
executives positions
The Elevate Women Executive Leadership Board will be composed of c-suite
level female leaders, working with Elevate International for a year to define and
design a leadership competency framework for women to advance in leadership
position.
Although commitments to gender diversity are at an all-time high in many sectors,
a critical gap between commitment and action continues to be an issue. Many
companies and organizations want to see women advance, but do not have
measurable goals or an actions plan to advance gender diversity in leadership.
Strategies for implementations and leadership competency framework will be
published in an Elevate report that will be presented during the 2020 International
Women’s Day Summit.
