Thank Heaven For 11: Take The Lead Celebrates
11 Years Working Toward Mission of Equity


Take The Lead is 11 years old this week on February 19. Eleven years ago, Gloria Feldt and Amy Litzenberger co-founded the organization with the bold mission of society reaching leadership gender parity across all sectors by 2025—this year.

For the past 11 years, Take The Lead has been working towards achieving gender and racial equity in leadership across all sectors and industries. In that time, Take The Lead has been making an enormous impact affecting hundreds of thousands of women in their careers and lives.
