Members of The White House Project’s Corporate Council are building the movement to change the landscape for leadership in the 21st century. With a commitment to honing and leveraging the leadership of young women ages 21-35, the Council participates in mission-driven, solution-building work with The White House Project.
Founded in 2006, The White House Project’s Corporate Council fulfills a unique mission: to engage senior business people on issues that arise at the nexus of government policy, private philanthropy, academia, and business, and to facilitate engagement between business executives in the private and public sectors.
Members of the Council are corporate leaders who are active agents of change within their corporations, and who occupy, or have access to, their executive suite. Members bring their intellectual and social capital to changing the perception of women leaders, and to advancing women’s leadership in both the private and public sectors. Each Corporate Council member company provides generous support to The White House Project.
Throughout the year, Council members will participate in series of meetings focused on leadership development, and dialogue with senior members of the media, politicians and activists about a range of timely and engaging topics. In 2009, The White House Project’s Corporate Council released The White House Project Report: Benchmarking Women’s Leadership. This groundbreaking report was commissioned by the Council to document and highlight the relative lack of women in senior leadership roles across a number of sectors.
