New for Members: More Ways to Connect with the Right Women in our Community
At Ellevate, the diversity of our community is always on our minds — everything from your background, experience, ethnicity, how you identify, and your career goals. Harnessing the power of diversity is one of our core values and we will always work hard to build a more diverse and inclusive network. This concept drives the way we plan our events, the kind of resources we provide, and how we launch new programs, like Ellevate Squads.
You asked and we heard you — there’s value in specific spaces for women of color, for women early or late in their career, and for women with specific professional interests, like podcasting, serving on corporate boards, or leading mission-driven companies. There’s also an opportunity for us to provide content in a more goal-focused way to help each of you take your next steps towards success, whatever that looks like.

In order to help our growing number of members easily find and connect with other members like them, as well as achieve their specific professional goals, we’re doubling our number of Ellevate Groups and Professional Goals. The groups and professional goals you choose are only visible within our community of Ellevate Members, and can provide a safe space for finding other women who self-identify the way you do.
You can choose new groups and professional goals by going to your profile and clicking on the options on the left-hand side, under your profile picture.

It’s important to not overlook the value of intentional networking with people who understand you, who have had similar experiences, and who understand the specific challenges you face. (After twenty plus years as a women’s network, we certainly understand the value of a space just for women!) You can’t be who you can’t see, and exclusive spaces and stories provide a critical opportunity to learn from role models, mentors, and peers that have relevant first-hand experience.
