Women lead the nonprofit workforce, but not the leadership. Women comprise 66% of nonprofit staff, driving the sector's impact. Only 33% of CEOs are women, missing out on diverse talent and perspectives. Let's bridge the gap! Mentor young women, champion flexible work, and build inclusive workplaces. Together, we can empower women to lead and create a stronger nonprofit sector for all! #nonprofitleadership #latinaleaders #leaders

Want to celebrate International Women’s Day tomorrow? Here's how you can in a meaningful way: 1. Connect a future female leader with a mentor (bonus points if the mentor is another woman) 2. Speak up for a female colleague when she’s interrupted or talked over in a meeting 3. Like, engage, or share posts from strong female creators to give them more visibility And for the leaders out there, here are 3 just for you: 1. Look at your team and ask yourself whether it needs more diversity. If it does, make a commitment to fix it. 2. Review your mat leave policy and ask yourself if you can make it better. Or, think of one way you can support mothers transitioning back from mat leave better. 3. Make female coaches available to the women on your team, even if that means going outside your org. Let's advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion all year long, and not just this month. You can help with the small actions you take every day. ✌️💜 Follow me Katy McFee for more posts on women in leadership #IWD #IWD2024 #DEI #womenleadership
