We are so proud of the work we’ve been able to do over the last 20 years, however, as you know, there is still a lot of work ahead of us to ensure gender equity across all industries. To date we have engaged nearly 5,000 participants, enabling early to mid-career professionals to build skills, expand networks, seek mentorship, and set achievable goals. 

We appreciate your support!

Yaro Fong-Olivares a Gearing Up Leadership Conference
Providing the type of programming and community this conference offers is only one step toward supporting women who aspire to corporate leadership. The other half of the equation lies with companies and allies who are equally committed to creating environments where the ambition of women and gender-expansive individuals can be celebrated and where they can see themselves reflected in leadership roles.
