We have some shiny new Florida Diamond Member Experience benefits to share based on our enhanced collaboration with Athena Alliance.
The Florida Diamond Member Experience offers 3 Career-Building Pillars:
All designed to provide expanded outreach for board and executive opportunities, and clear pathways and strategic, personalized support for Florida Diamond Members to achieve their desired goals.
Studies show organizations with qualified women in leadership achieve higher performance levels. Yet only 9% of women are in CEO roles, and only 30% of women hold board seats nationally (source: Russell 3000 companies as of June 2024). WEL is a not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose is to increase the number of powerful women serving on corporate boards and in executive suites through advocating, educating, and connecting accomplished women leaders. Here’s to an amazing group of women leaders–current and future! Join WEL to support a successful community and advance qualified women in the C-suite and boardroom.
WEL provides thoughtful and intentional programs to increase the number of qualified women in the C-suite and on corporate boards. WEL is not just doing this because we champion women leaders, but because statistically speaking, it’s been shown that organizations with women at the table perform far better than their peers who don’t.

Founder, EdgeCraft Advisors
The combination of commitment to board diversity, the educational programs, and the opportunity for senior executive women to network with other members and organizations is what WEL is all about.
Beth Simonetti,
EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer
I love that through my WEL Diamond membership I get to attend such quality and insightful programming like the evening with Laurie Jennings on how to always present yourself in the best light. Even as someone who trains others in executive presence, I took away some great nuggets.
Tami Reiss,
Speaker, Corporate Trainer, Author, The Product Leader Coach
As a new member, I am impressed with the diversity of women who are part of the WEL organization. It is encouraging to be around other women with similar aspirations and willingness to share. Networking is great, I have met new people each time I participate in an event. As I plot my course, I look forward to taking advantage of all the great resources WEL has to offer.
