By Women, For Women: Leaders and Innovations in Gender Equity

From philanthropy to investing to entrepreneurship, women face unique challenges in their quests to make an impact. The #MeToo movement in particular has brought into focus the exclusion of women from power – an ill from which even the social sector is not immune. And yet in spite of cultural and systemic hurdles, women continue to rise through the ranks of impact-focused firms, smashing old paradigms and creating better, more inclusive business models. Do you know of an individual or organization innovating in the name of gender equity – or is this person you? If so, we’d love to share your story in this series. Email kbeas@umich.edu to discuss options.
