🎁 Happy Holidays! THANKS for Your Gift of Impact!

We are so grateful for you, donors and supporters of women’s equality and leadership parity. We wish you a Happy Holiday, during this season when Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all spread their light and hope together.

Because of you, Take The Lead has accomplished so much this year. Your commitment to our shared mission of gender parity in leadership has transformed lives — make no mistake about it. Below you will see a video recap of our first 10 years.

And we must continue the momentum we have created, when women are both making tremendous strides and experiencing tremendous setbacks.

We choose to focus on helping women use their power TO make more strides forward. Please join this positive way forward by generously making your contribution now so that together we will help more women lead and succeed.

Thanks to you, in 2024 we:

>> Kicked off our 10th anniversary year with a virtual webchat between Gloria Steinem, Gloria Feldt, and Jamia Wilson. Over 1000 people registered for it.
>> Delivered our signature 50 Women Can Change the World to a powerful cohort of 70+ female entrepreneurs changing the world for the better in so many ways.
>> Released self-directed online courses. The 9 Leadership Power Tools to Advance Your Career is for women in organizations. The new 9 Leadership Power Tools for Entrepreneurs adapts the core curriculum to entrepreneurs. Both help women think big and have the clarity of intention and mindset to achieve their goals.
>> Held the annual Power Up Concert and Conference on Women’s Equality Day, August 26 in Washington DC to huge accolades. We honored Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter during the concert at the iconic Kennedy Center, the ERA Coalition for its advocacy work, and the innovative Pandia Health as the leading company. We were especially thrilled to honor 9 women who have participated in Take The Lead programs, each representing one of the 9 Leadership Power Tools.
>> Recognized and celebrated the 5000 women and men who have participated in Take The Lead training and over 1,500,000 reached with all services combined during out 10 years of impact.

The people whose lives we have touched are our greatest treasure going forward into the brave new world of 2025. You’ll definitely want to be part of these new initiatives.

We celebrate the holidays filled with gratitude and determination for the possibilities that lie ahead despite and because of the challenges.

Together, as Elphaba in “Wicked” says, we are unlimited!
