Founded in 2006, The White House Project’s Corporate Council fulfills a unique mission: to engage senior business women on issues that arise at the nexus of government policy, private philanthropy, academia, and business, and to facilitate engagement between senior business women in the private and public sectors.
Members of the Council are corporate women 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.
In 2009, TWHP's Corporate Council will release Benchmarking Women's Leadership: A Report Card on the Leadership Gap in America. 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. 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.
