Women Who Lead:
Connecting Veteran and Non-VeteranWomen
Building Leaders Who Bridge Military-Civilian Gaps
Fewer than 1% of Americans serve in the military today, and only 1 in 100 U.S. adult women has served. As fewer Americans than ever know someone who has, the gap between those who serve and the communities they return to continues to grow.
Women Who Lead is closing that gap by developing leaders who show others how to more fully support those who protect and defend our freedom.
Together, we:
-
Expand leadership capacity
-
Foster mutual support
-
Cultivate Civilian Veteran Champions
Join us for monthly virtual leadership forums, 2nd Hour, quarterly in-person Boots and Blazers networking events, and our annual Summit.
