LONG FORM
The Women Business Collaborative (WBC) is an unprecedented alliance of 73+ women business organizations collaborating together to achieve Equal Position, Pay and Power for All Business Women. We are also a business movement of tens of thousands of over a million diverse professional women and men, business organizations, public and private companies and the media accelerating change through collaboration, advocacy, action and accountability.
To propel women forward, WBC has united more than 55 leading women’s business organizations, activating our vast network to attain immediate and long-term results around nine essential action initiatives – more women CEOs, in the C-Suite and on Boards; a demand for gender pay and parity; increasing access to institutional capital, and capital for women entrepreneurs; driving more women as controllers of capital allocation; parity for women in underrepresented business sectors such as technology; and leveraging learning and development to drive pipeline promotions. Interwoven across every initiative is our call for inclusivity, diversity and equality for all women, including women of color, the LGBQTIA community and other disenfranchised women.
Our movement and network, spearheaded by our Partners, Advisory and Leadership Councils, reaches millions of business leaders across the United States and globally. WBC is committed to diversity – our Councils and Board of Directors include more than 30 percent people of color. We also have 10% of our stakeholders who are men and are a part of our Ally of Her designation.
The power of combining the collaborative approach with our women’s business movement is already creating momentum and accelerating the pace of change for business women. Join us.
We are #WBCFasterTogether.
