Women of Color Leadership Program

The Women of Color Leadership Program reflects our belief in inclusion—supporting efforts to increase access to equal opportunity in organizations because it is the right thing to do. Demographic diversity also helps organizations innovate, perform, and grow. In this program, you and an exceptional group of peers—women of color who want to make a difference—will gain insight, skills, and relationships that will help you realize your leadership potential and contribute more fully to your company's success.

This women's multi-generational leadership program is presented jointly with the HBS Leadership Initiative.

Women of color who are rising stars in their organizations, including mid-level managers, account managers, or subject-matter experts with 7-20 years of professional experience who are being considered for roles of increasing responsibility.

While this program is designed for U.S. and Canada-based women and nonbinary people of color and will be most beneficial to those who identify as such, the program is open to all who otherwise fulfill the admissions criteria. Please find our policy on nondiscrimination here.

Program for Leadership Development participants earn 3 PLDA Points on completion of this program.
