About Leadership Women
Leadership Women, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, represents four decades of commitment to empowering women as intentional leaders in their communities and organizations. Founded on the simple yet powerful truth that advancing women in leadership benefits both business outcomes and society as a whole, the organization has grown into a respected nonprofit serving women globally. The determination and vision that inspired Leadership Women's founders over 42 years ago continues to drive the organization's work today, creating meaningful change in how women lead and participate in decision-making at all levels.
At the heart of Leadership Women's philosophy is the belief that a true leader embodies three essential qualities: the desire to LEARN, the commitment to LEAD, and the vision to leave a LEGACY. This framework guides the organization's approach to developing women who can make lasting impacts in their professional and personal spheres. Based in Dallas, Leadership Women serves as a bridge between individual women seeking growth and organizations striving to build more inclusive, equitable leadership structures.
The organization operates as a social enterprise dedicated to improving women's lives for the common good, supported by the women and organizations it serves, as well as generous partners who believe in the mission. Leadership Women's expanding array of programs reflects a deep understanding of the barriers women face and a commitment to providing practical, transformative solutions that create pathways to leadership at every level.
