Women in Business and Leadership Initiative

Highlighting leaders, connections, and resources around gender equity in workplaces and communities

About
Empowering women to grow and succeed in business and leadership is necessary to sustain a healthy and vibrant community. Women in Business and Leadership Initiative (WIBLI) events and programs inspire, educate, and connect Seattle-area women at all levels of their careers.

Through our events—and our partnership with the 100% Talent Initiative—we aim to empower Seattle-area professionals to create significant change for themselves, their workplaces and their communities around gender equity issues, including closing our region’s gender wage gap. Events include:

WIBLI Symposiums

WIBLI “21” Lunches

WIBLI Awards

Previous speakers have included: Senator Patty Murray, Governor Christine Gregoire, Seattle Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez, and female leaders from Payscale, Seattle Storm, Julep Nails, Filter Digital, Ethnic Business Coalition, and many more.
