We have been invested in women’s leadership since we were first organized more than 100 years ago and ultimately became Advertising Women of New York (AWNY). We changed our name to She Runs It in 2016 because as the industry evolved, it became evident that our community encompassed far more than just advertising, and was far broader than just New York. Today we are a global organization with members in 42 states and 8 countries. When we started, we wanted to give more women a seat at the table. Now, we want to see more women at the head of the table. The reason is simple. Women are proven leaders. Women motivate. Innovate. Today, women run companies. Communities. Countries. They are growth-oriented leaders, and focus on steady, sustainable growth. Women are good for business. Companies with more women as leaders are also more financially successful. More socially responsible. And that’s good for everyone. Which is why we bring together both women and men who want to build the world we want to live in. A world where women lead at every level. · Where she runs businesses. · She runs departments. · She runs accounts. · She runs projects. · She runs her career. · She runs her life. · She runs it.
