Why Rise & Lead Summit?
Most of the jobs lost during the pandemic were held by women, which reverses the progress made towards equality.
A 2020 analysis by Mercer found a leaky pipeline for women in leadership. Up to 45% of women join the workforce, yet only 29% make it past the middle management roles. Female representation falls from around 50% in entry-level ranks to about 25% at the executive level and approximately 7% at the CEO level. (McKinsey LeanIn Report)
At Rise and Lead, our mission is to increase the representation of women at the top leadership positions by providing programs and resources to women and companies who hire them.
Our platform connects highly motivated women with senior executives who serve as role models and mentors and to other valuable resources for career growth.
How can we close the gender leadership and financial gap? Join the Rise and Lead Summit.
