A note from our board chair, India Gary-Martin

As I reflect on this year, I’m struck by how far we’ve come and how well we’re positioned for the road ahead. 

WBC is moving into its next stage of maturity and growth, guided by a board of leading businesspeople from across the country who are actively transforming WBC to meet the moment for women in business. This year, WBC brought our mission to life through action, scale, and impact:

Much of this year has been about reframing our work to align with the radically shifting needs of our partners, donors, and champions. We’ve demonstrated our ability to pivot by partnering to operationalize and embed talent pathways, broaden opportunity, and expand access to a top-notch community of best practice. From helping to address the capital needs of our qualified entrepreneur population, to pathways into business and leadership in sports, and aligning veterans with the opportunities to transfer their very relevant skills to meet needs of the business environment, this isn’t abstract strategy. It’s about delivering tangible, collaborative progress that undergirds the complex ecosystem of women in business.

What gives me confidence is the resonance I hear from those we serve: organizations and individuals who want a practical, scalable path to ensure continued access for women in business. Our enhanced frameworks were derived from the voices of our partners, corporates and members. We’re not just talking about change; we’re making it happen, together.

As we close this year, I’m grateful for your continued support and energized by what we’ll achieve together. Here’s to a strong finish and an even stronger beginning.

Warm regards,

India
