Ellevate Network About Ellevate

We believe women are awesome. We believe that networking and lifelong learning are keys to success.

Ellevate Network is certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third-party certifier of the businesses owned and operated by women in the U.S. We believe women are still a largely untapped resource in the business world and in society at large – and that it’s time to change that. And we believe that by promoting networking and education for professional women, working with companies and investors to help them see the opportunity, and by truly investing in our women- we can be an active and positive part of that change. Ellevate is a global professional women’s network dedicated to these beliefs and to the economic engagement of women worldwide. The most expansive and diverse network of its kind, our community is made up of successful, motivated and passionate professional women from various industries and walks of life with one common belief – that investing in themselves and in other women is good business. Our members are groundbreakers, thought leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, board members, and visionaries. They are alumnae and students of some of the world’s leading academic institutions. Some are at the top of their fields, and others are on their way. With 34,000 members in 130 countries, our community is large and growing by the day. Join Us
What we do
We're proud to invest in the professional and economic success and engagement of women through the power of our network as well as through our partnerships with corporations and like-minded organizations around the world. Fortune 500 companies with the highest percentages of women on their boards of directors outperformed those with the least by 53% on return on equity, 42% on return on sales and a whopping 66% on return on invested capital. Yet women account for only 16% of the boards of Fortune Global 200 companies. Ellevate helps women succeed in two ways:

Connect – We’ve built a strong community of accomplished women committed to investing in themselves and other women, and we’re dedicated to bringing more women together to network and achieve their goals. Learn – We’re committed to providing unique content, resources and tools to help women succeed in both work and life.

Who really gets ahead at work? If it were purely about performance, the numbers might look different.

Grant Thornton’s 2026 Women in Business research found that women held 31% of senior leadership roles at U.S. companies, down from 35% two years ago. The 2025 Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey and LeanIn.Org found that only about a third of women who worked mostly remotely had been promoted in the past two years or had a sponsor. More than half of women who worked mostly on-site had.

Visibility, proximity, and relationships often shape careers in ways that never make it onto a performance review.

In her Executive Roundtable, workplace culture expert, TEDx speaker, and Culture Blooming author Abi Adamson examined the hidden dynamics behind who gets heard, recognized, promoted, and trusted, and what leaders can do about it.

ā€œMy dreams don’t feel quite as far away as they did before.ā€

When Ellevate member Alicia Watkins first joined, she was looking for community. What she found was a network of women who inspired her, supported her ambitions, and made her goals feel more attainable.

ā€œBeing around people who are thinking about their futures, building businesses, changing careers, and challenging themselves has made my own goals feel more possible.ā€

That’s the power of meaningful connection.

Through Ellevate Connects, our global virtual networking hour, women come together to share experiences, build relationships, and discover new opportunities.

Your next opportunity, mentor, collaborator, or friend could be just one conversation away.

šŸ’ø More women at the table. More women in the know.
You shouldn’t need a finance degree—or a financial advisor—to feel confident asking questions about your money.

That’s why Ellevate Network + SFP Wealth are creating a space to talk about money without the jargon, intimidation, or judgment.

And thanks to SFP Wealth, it’s FREE and open to the public. šŸ™Œ

Because when more women have access to financial knowledge, more women have the confidence to make decisions, advocate for themselves, and shape their futures.

No question is too basic.
No experience required.

Just come ready to learn—and bring a friend. šŸ’›

ā€œIced coffee is a beverage. It is not a lunch plan.ā€ ā˜•ļø

Performance isn’t just for athletes. It’s the big presentation, the school lunches, the travel day, and caring for a parent.

On October 14, performance nutritionist Julie Nicoletti shares how to fuel your brain and body for all of it. Her approach puts consistency over perfection and leaves room for food you love.

45,000 fans. A women-led lineup. $20 million raised for 10 organizations supporting women. 🌼

Last month, Olivia Rodrigo’s first Daisy Chain Fields festival brought together legends and rising stars, from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Nonprofit leaders spoke between sets, and Sarah McLachlan joined Rodrigo on stage to close out the night.

In the ā€˜90s, McLachlan was told two women couldn’t headline the same show. So, she started Lilith Fair, the festival that inspired Daisy Chain.

Daisy Chain is a reminder that progress builds on the women who came before us, and that it keeps going when we pass it forward. šŸ’›
