For Black Women

The Power of Women at Work (POWW) is a one-day symposium designed to equip women to navigate the new norm with power, grit, and grace. The candid conversations, game-changing solutions, insightful panels, networking and partnering opportunities with individuals and companies will keep you engaged!

The Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF) is an annual one-day event organized by women members of The ELC featuring panel discussions and networking opportunities for Black women executives. Proceeds from the WLF benefit the Ann Fudge Scholarship Program.

Named after the first woman chair of The ELC and former Chairman and CEO of Young & Rubicam Brands, since it’s inception more than 10 years ago, the Ann Fudge Scholarship is open to high-achieving undergraduate Black female students attending one of the nation’s top Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Strategic Pathways is intended for Black women leaders who are ready to fully step into their professional power and create new career possibilities. The learning journey begins with an understanding of the particular corporate landscape Black women must navigate – one full of pitfalls and blind turns. Rather than seeing these realities as obstacles, participants work together to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones toward more authentic, courageous, and impactful leadership.
