Mobilize Women 2019: A Summit Hosted by Ellevate Network

Ellevate’s 2019 Mobilize Women Summit will focus on providing a space for leaders with diverse perspectives to come together and share their take on how to build a more just and equitable world.

It’s time to mobilize.
Mobilize Women is a movement based on Ellevate Network’s purpose of achieving equality for all through giving diverse voices, and particularly those of women, a seat at the table where decisions are made.
We believe that when ambitious professional women who share our values get more opportunity — to have a voice in important conversations, to steer our collective economic power towards that which we care about — it ultimately benefits everyone, and leads to a more equal world.
To us, that means more opportunities for everyone. It means no more harassment. It means equal pay. It means a fair shake at success. It means access to the resources you need, wherever and whoever you are.
We know women are powerful, now it’s time to use that power to build the world we want to see. It’s time to mobilize.

Really liked the energy in the room and was very impressed with a number of the speakers. Would highly recommend to my friends and business associates next year. As a seasoned senior executive, would gladly answer questions about working as an engineer and being the "only woman in the room" for most of my career.

Oh my, this seems very interesting. I would love to be a part of it and it gives me a chance to go back to NYC! I know they will give a way so much knowledge, I've got to be there. I can't wait to connect with everyone on the Ellevate platform. #HappyNetworking #WAR aka "Women Are Rising"

Last year's Summit was fantastic - looking forward to another great day of inspiration and actionable take-aways. Thrilled to be part of this realm of helping women navigate (and "ellevate") their careers!

This looks wonderful. Hope to speak at it and also bring a panel of women from VT who are taking big steps in this brave little state to close the pay gap.

Will there be scholarship opportunities in order to open this experience up to a diverse strata of women, including those who might not be able to pay out-right?
