WHAT IS TAKE THE LEAD?Founded by Gloria Feldt and Amy Litzenberger in 2013, Take The Lead is a nonprofit organization whose bold mission is to prepare (train), develop (mentor), inspire (role model), and propel (thought leadership) women to take their fair and equal share of leadership positions across all sectors by 2025. Because our time is now. And we all win when women lead.

We PROPEL women with thought leadership that changes the narrative from problems to solutions via our blog, newsletter, research, events, and #SisterCourage systems change.

We PREPARE women for success with breakthrough learning programs. Women transform the power paradigm and learn the 9 immediately actionable Leadership Power Tools to advance careers and lead unlimited lives.

We DEVELOP networks of professional women in person and online through our Glassbreakers Take The Lead platform. Get a mentor. Be a mentor.

We INSPIRE women to have big intentions and the courage to reach for their full potential through Take The Lead Presents live and online role model events.

Women earn 57% of college degrees and are almost half the workforce. Yet they hold under 20% of top leadership positions across all sectors nationwide and on average earn 20% less than men.

We must take action now.

Because when women lead, we all win.

• Businesses with more women in upper leadership make more money. According to Harvard Business Review, an increase in women leaders to 30% is associated with a 15% increase in profitability.

• Elected bodies with more women have better decision processes.

• Families benefit when both men and women can contribute their best abilities and get paid equally for equal work.

• Gender parity is the right and just thing to do—so our daughters and all the women we love can realize their dreams.

WHY IS GENDER PARITY NECESSARY?
