Dear Friends,
Three years ago, a group of women leaders convened in
Colorado to create a new way to propel women to the top of
the private sector. The words of Mary Barra and Ginni Rometty
still resonate: “The way to make real change is to create
accelerators within future generations of women leaders.”
And JOURNEY was born. By identifying and equipping
exceptional mission-driven women to reach the top,
JOURNEY enables high-potential leaders to scale their
impact, change more lives, and create a multiplier effect that
benefits everyone.
The outstanding leaders in our third annual class of
Fellows are midway through their year-long program, and
our first two classes have completed theirs. By next
spring we will have a Fellow community of 100 and
growing. These lifelong Members enjoy continued access
to our network and the JOURNEY team’s coaching on
building impact platforms, serving on corporate boards,
and making other strides key to strengthening leadership.

Yes, we’re proud that so many of these Fellows tell us
we’re changing their lives. More importantly, we are proud of
them. They have ascended into CEO roles, raised major
capital, added Fortune 500 companies as customers,
expanded their businesses into new global markets, and
amplified their thought leadership on critical issues. We stand
in awe of their keen vision to tackle the world’s most pressing
challenges, their boundless talent, and their fierce
determination to scale impact.
Nearly
everyone
who
engages
with
the
JOURNEY Fellows—the renowned leaders in our Champion
community, our board members, our Partners—are
inspired by these visionary leaders. And they applaud
the progress already being made by JOURNEY’s unique
and powerful approach to strengthening the top of the
leadership pyramid. Champion Roz Brewer says it well: “I
want so much for this generation and sometimes I lose hope.
JOURNEY’s Fellows open my eyes to new possibilities.”
JOURNEY’s Champions are core to our progress;
their collective genius is what makes us unique. These
trailblazers have led large companies as Chairs and CEOs;
they’ve built major venture funds and philanthropies. They
were among the first women to reach the top—and they
refuse to be the last. (See page 12 for full list.)
