Who Is Right for the Program

The HBS Executive Education Women's Leadership Forum is designed for women who hold senior leadership positions in public and private companies and nonprofit organizations around the world. Participants are selected to create a diverse group of accomplished executives from a wide array of industries, disciplines, managerial backgrounds, and cultures. Ideal candidates for this program include:

  • Senior corporate officers and executives
  • Business owners and entrepreneurs
  • Business-unit leaders
  • Nonprofit executives

One very important benefit of The Women's Leadership Forum is the opportunity to exchange ideas with a group of highly experienced businesswomen who face similar challenges in their professional lives. Through this program, many participants develop lasting relationships and are able to draw on a valuable network of peers who can offer ongoing advice and support.

"The cultural and professional diversity of the women whom I had the privilege of meeting had a very powerful and long-lasting effect upon me. The program taught me that women are spirited, tenacious, and resourceful leaders who are creating opportunities at every level for the next generation."
