The mission of the College of Business is to develop women as business leaders. Our goal is to increase the success of women in management and leadership positions throughout the industry. Statistics show that although women comprise 47% of the current national workforce, only one-third are managers or leaders within their organizations. The percentage of US businesses with at least one woman in senior management has increased to 81% in 2018; but overall, only about 20% of all women hold senior positions in organizations. There are only 24 women CEOs leading companies in the Fortune 500. The industry desperately needs more women in top leadership roles because research shows that companies with more women in leadership perform better financially and display more philanthropic efforts.
