Our Mission
Women continue to face challenges in the workplace that are unique to their gender. Why? Because competence and leadership, two attributes required to advance in a career, are still seen as stereotypically male characteristics. As a result, women are not afforded the presumption of competence given to others, are inadvertently held to a higher standard and receive lower evaluations for similar work.
This environment discourages advancement of talented and competent employees who add value to the workplace. Indeed, despite the age old assumptions, female advancement in the workplace is plagued not by lack of competence, effort or the desire to raise a family, but stereotypes that women are not assertive, ambitious, decisive, or business-oriented.
