Did you know that, even though 40% of U.S. businesses are owned by women, they generated just 5.8% of total national firm revenue in 2023 (according to Wells Fargo)? This goes to show that women are creating and running tons of businesses - and their full economic potential is yet to be realized. Investing in businesswomen - their ventures, their careers, their advancement in the landscape - is how we can grow these women-owned businesses and increase the economic impact that women can have, both in the U.S. and worldwide. This is what we at C200 are all about. Learn more here: https://hubs.la/Q02YqtVj0 #SuccessShared #WomenInBusiness #WellsFargo

Even as women have made major strides in the working world, they are still held responsible for household work when they get home. According to McKinsey & Company's 2024 Women in the Workplace report, 4 in 10 women with partners say they are responsible for the majority of the housework - and this number has gone up since 2016. What's more, younger working women are experiencing this at the same rate as older women, which shows that even the more "progressive" younger generations are struggling to change those deeply rooted gender norms that place domestic housework on women. At C200, we know that support for working women can look like networking, it can also be as simple (and important) as doing the dishes. How do you support the working women in your life? #SuccessShared #WomenInBusiness

Women don’t want to be simply accepted or represented in the workplace; they want to be supported—and be themselves. This year, studies like McKinsey & Company's Women in the Workplace 2024 report are warning that many companies are scaling back professional development programs geared toward women and minority groups, limiting their already-scarce resources to advance in their careers and find community in their journeys. It’s clear that even if we do achieve total gender parity in the workplace, that doesn’t mean women will be equally happy or fulfilled in their professional lives. Women’s networks and ways of achieving success in the current system require something different. Because of this, C200 is leveraging our strengths as one of the first movers for executive women organizations. Founded in 1982, we create communities that women need for their distinctive journeys—communities that acknowledge the complexities women face in the workplace and provide the access, intimacy, sisterhood, and bonds that are specific to the careers of women. We are thought leaders, market influencers, and champions of efforts that ensure women are represented, confident, and connected across all aspects of business. Joining our journey to advance women in business connects you with our incredible community of influential businesswomen.

"I do believe I’m an amazing businesswoman, but none of [what I do] started from that belief. It came from a place of: ‘This was put on me by the universe, and I’m going to force it to happen one way or another.’" - Ashley Black | Ashley Black Guru (The FasciaBlaster) (C200 member since 2023) Everyone's journey into business is different - what's yours?
