The REACH Women’s Network launched in 2018 with a focus on the gender gap, specifically pay equity and advancement opportunities for women in the workplace. Because we value excellence and diversity of thought and experience, we have been intentional about equity, diversity, and inclusion through our board, our membership, and our programming.

​

REACH Women’s Network has and will continue to infuse the below principles into our programming strategies to inspire our own introspection and contribute meaningfully to community conversations on race, particularly those where race and gender identity intersect. 

 

1. REACH amplifies the voices of working women, including Black women, Hispanic women, and women of every identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, faith, etc. 
    

2. REACH programming shares the experiences of diverse working women and advocates for advancement opportunities and other forms of recognition that underscore the value of women in the workplace.
    

3. REACH partners with other organizations and promotes best practices that challenge the status quo regarding race, gender equity, and gender identity.
    

4. REACH provides resources, scholarships, and mentorship in support of marginalized groups. 

 

The REACH Women’s Network is committed to tearing down systemic barriers of oppression that are informed by and reliant upon racism, sexism, and gendered ageism. We welcome your thoughts in this realm as we continue our journey and mission. Please contact us by email.
