Every August, we celebrate Women's Equality Day. It is a chance to recognize the women who challenged expectations, broke barriers, and opened doors for those who followed.
But it's also an opportunity to ask a harder question: If women have proven they can lead, why are they still underrepresented at the very top?
In 2026, women led roughly 11% of Fortune 500 companies: a record high, but still a striking reminder of how much room there is to grow.
At Executive Women of Goizueta, we believe progress isn't just about representation. It's about creating the relationships, experiences, visibility, and opportunities that help more women step into leadership and stay there.
There is more work to do. And we're here for it! https://goizueta.emory.edu/alumni/engage/ewg
