About
The Women Business Collaborative (WBC) is an unprecedented alliance of 75+ national professional women’s organizations collaborating together to achieve Equal Position, Pay, and Power for All Business Women. We are also a social movement of tens of thousands of 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 75 leading women's organizations, activating our vast network to attain immediate and long-term results around nine essential action initiatives – more women as CEOs, in the C-Suite and on Boards; a demand for gender pay and parity; increasing 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 tens of thousands 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.
