IT’S TIME FOR A WORKPLACE WITH
NO LIMITS 2015 was a year of transformation for the Network of Executive Women. It
started in January at the FMI Midwinter Executive Conference in Miami, where we enrolled senior industry leaders in our “It’s Time” Movement for women’s leadership and workplace change. Our fresh start included a new mission, new learning programs, a new inclusion initiative and a bold new vision: a workplace with no limits.
“We’re creating a bigger and more powerful Network to transform our industry’s workplace and move the needle on women’s leadership.” Joan Toth NEW President and CEO October 1, 2015, Dallas
“Our powerful new Network will help the industry become a leading destination for women, millennials and multicultural talent.” Karen Stuckey, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. NEW Board Chair July 29, 2015, Los Angeles

WE ARE OUR
PEOPLE The Network’s community grew 8.6 percent in 2015 — thousands more participated in NEW events and programs industrywide. But NEW is not satisfied with incremental growth — in 2015 we laid the groundwork for our biggest expansion ever, an ambitious plan to double our membership by 2020.
“You are surrounded by passionate professionals willing to share their wisdom.” Valerie Oswalt Mondelēz International

INNOVATING WITH
INCLUSION The retail and consumer goods workforce is getting more diverse — and so is the Network of Executive Women. Our inclusion initiative is on a mission to create a Network that’s 10 percent men, 20 percent new generation and 30 percent multicultural. In 2015, our Inclusion Committee, headed by Ken Charles of General Mills, helped ensure that diversity was embedded in every aspect of NEW — from leadership to events, from outreach to content — reflecting the diverse communities we serve, including men, millennials, women of color and the LGBT community. “I was ‘volun-told’ to attend the NEW Summit 10 years ago. That has manifested into championing the advancement of women in my company and in the industry.” PJ Connor Hormel Foods Corporation

TOGETHER
The Network’s 98 corporate partners have millions of employees and billions in sales. They also have a proven commitment to women’s leadership and workplace change. NEW partners represent nearly 90 percent of our membership. And their leaders are our leaders, donating their time to serve as officers, Board members, Ambassadors, committee leads and volunteers. The financial contributions of our corporate partners make our work possible, but it is their passion that really fuels our Network. Their belief in the Network and its mission is one of our most valuable assets.

NEW content included our “Accelerators” report on women’s leadership and more than 50 blogs written by career experts and industry leaders. NEW social media followers increased 67 percent to more than 29,000 followers — another 22,000 supporters joined the conversation on our regions’ social media accounts.

JUDGE US BY OUR
LEADERS The Network’s volunteer Board is made up of talented and passionate women and men from some of the largest organizations in the retail, consumer goods and services industry. Their leadership is driving change in their own organizations — and the entire industry. Their hard work and dedication to NEW’s mission proves what Elizabeth Andrew said: “Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time — they just have the heart.”
“It’s a privilege to serve on the NEW Board of Directors. Working with such a talented group of leaders has broadened my understanding of diversity and inclusion issues facing the Industry and inspired me to help resolve them.”
