A compass for change – from purpose to progress
WNORTH is an award-winning membership network dedicated to bridging the gender power gap by elevating women in the leadership pipeline. WNORTH brings together professional women at a high level to share their systems, networks, knowledge, and experience and to collectively code leadership and management environments to women’s experiences.
A compass for change, this intimate gathering of purpose-driven leaders explores what it means to lead beyond the moment, with vision, values, and long-term impact at the center. Through thought-provoking conversations and meaningful connection, we’ll chart a new course for leadership—one that prioritizes people, planet, and purpose.
