We believe women are awesome. We believe that networking and lifelong learning are keys to success.
Ellevate Network is certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third-party certifier of the businesses owned and operated by women in the U.S. We believe women are still a largely untapped resource in the business world and in society at large – and that it’s time to change that. And we believe that by promoting netw
orking and education for professional women, working with companies and investors to help them see the opportunity, and by truly investing in our women- we can be an active and positive part of that change. Ellevate is a global professional women’s network dedicated to these beliefs and to the economic engagement of women worldwide. The most expansive and diverse network of its kind, our community is made up of successful, motivated and passionate professional women from various industries and walks of life with one common belief – that investing in themselves and in other women is good business. Our members are groundbreakers, thought leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, board members, and visionaries. They are alumnae and students of some of the world’s leading academic institutions. Some are at the top of their fields, and others are on their way. With 34,000 members in 130 countries, our community is large and growing by the day. Join Us
What we do
We're proud to invest in the professional and economic success and engagement of women through the power of our network as well as through our partnerships with corporations and like-minded organizations around the world. Fortune 500 companies with the highest percentages of women on their boards of directors outperformed those with the least by 53% on return on equity, 42% on return on sales and a whopping 66% on return on invested capital. Yet women account for only 16% of the boards of Fortune Global 200 companies. Ellevate helps women succeed in two ways:
Connect – We’ve built a strong community of accomplished women committed to investing in themselves and other women, and we’re dedicated to bringing more women together to network and achieve their goals. Learn – We’re committed to providing unique content, resources and tools to help women succeed in both work and life.
