Bio

Expanding Opportunities for Women and Business www.catalyst.org Founded in 1962, Catalyst is the leading nonprofit membership organization working globally with businesses and the professions to build inclusive workplaces and expand opportunities for women and business. With offices in the United States, Canada, and Europe, we count as members more than 400 companies, firms, business schools, and associations from around the world, employing millions of women. Our global lens and regional reach allow us to provide our members, the media, and the public with information and counsel on creating workplaces that enable women and their employers to succeed. Catalyst's work is rooted in our research. We study women and men across levels, functions, and geographies to learn about women's experiences in business, barriers to their career advancement, and individual and organizational strategies leading to success. We are culturally sensitive. Catalyst members benefit from our expertise, network, and range of resources and services designed to advance women and business. Our Advisory Services group assesses global and regional challenges to provide insights and strategies that support members' goals. Catalyst's Information Center and Speakers Bureau make our knowledge broadly accessible. Corporate Board Services assists women in determining whether serving on a board is right for them. The Catalyst Award is presented annually to outstanding initiatives from companies, professional firms, and other organizations that result in women's career development and advancement. Above all, we are a catalyst. Through our work. Through our insights. For women interested in contributing at work and advancing to leadership. And for our members, who benefit from this rich talent pool. We encourage women, men, and business to join with us in building the inclusion that will expand opportunities for women in the workplace.
