    • Nationwide, women hold an average of 16% of board positions
    • Only 12% of non-profits have trained their boards on diversity

    • Improved financial performance
    • Improved governance
    • Higher level of board independence from management

What we do

The Women’s Leadership Foundation (WLF) is a 501(c)(3) organization and the foundation for the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce. WLF works to support the CWCC and its members by inspiring and educating professional women to flourish in leadership roles in business and in the community.

"Hats off to Donna Evans from Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce – she has opened our eyes to the lack of female representation on boards of directors. As was pointed out last night (June 21) in the exquisite lobby of the Museum of Nature and Science, the heart and soul of strong ladies present an entirely new prospective to our businesses – a prospective that, in many cases, is currently lacking. Kudos to CWCC!”
