Empowering Women

Women in Leadership is LAAF's body of work designed to support women to successfully identify and respond to the unique challenges that women experience in the workplace—and, ideally, transform them into opportunities for growth and advancement. Our resources empower individuals to define/refine what is most meaningful to them personally, professionally and philanthropically, fuel their leadership trajectories, overcome challenges through specific strategies, tools and tactics and empower others with intentional inclusivity.
