The CWLA WHY

Despite extensive efforts to dissolve gender disparities in leadership roles, women still encounter formidable obstacles in attaining such positions. Despite comprising over half of the U.S. population and almost 50% of its workforce, women remain significantly underrepresented in leadership roles, particularly women of color. Surprisingly, recent studies show that the gender leadership gap continues to widen, despite widespread initiatives for parity. The CWLA arises from the imperative to increase representation of women in leadership and equips women with knowledge and tools to become effective, emotionally intelligent, and inclusive leaders.
