She’s a Boss
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women find their
entrepreneurial spirit. We are a resource as they explore, pursue, and build
their career.
Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Our mission is to encourage the entrepreneurial
spirit within female students and young professionals as well as support,
enhance, and accelerate the professional development of entrepreneurial women.
We will achieve this mission by:
- Raising awareness on the value of an entrepreneurial career
- Motivating young women to prepare for and pursue a career in entrepreneurship
- Educating women on the importance of career long professional development
- Empowering women to actively participate in their personal and professional growth
- Producing events and programs where young women can learn from accomplished women in business
Our vision is to be involved in the professional
development of students and young alumni. We want to be a change agent for
women entering or already in the workforce; we want them to know that
entrepreneurial and other self-employed careers are within reach when you have
the right support. We are working towards offering scholarships for business
students and business development grants for women who want to grow their
business.
Our efforts will be
marked by the increase in women who choose business majors and by the number of
women who report “starting a business” as a post graduate activity. We believe
that through support, education, and networking, women will feel empowered and
more equipped to pursue an entrepreneurial career.
The following
values and
actions will guide us in achieving our vision:
Ambition
Aim for above the
standard
Independence
Take responsibility for thoughts,
actions, and behaviors
Commitment
See plans and goals
through with 100% effort
Work/Life
Balance
Balance lifestyle to
include work and time away from work
Our Audience
We target two groups of women: students and recent graduates
aged 18-26 and accomplished women in business age 30 or older. To achieve our
mission, we think it is key for these two groups of women to interact because
the natural transfer of knowledge can enhance learning and professional
development.
If you fall into our audience demographic, you should join our Leadership Club. The Leadership Club organizes members-only networking, mentoring, and other special events. You can also join our group on Facebook.
If you do not fall into our audience demographic, you
can still show your support by signing up for our mailing list to receive our
monthly digest, Professionally Yours.
Everyone is also welcome to show their support by following
us on Twitter and following our blog, the Golden Briefcase. We appreciate every
follow, every share, every retweet, and every mention. Everything counts and we
are always humbled by the support we receive.
In addition, we are always looking for sponsors and event
partners; if you or someone you know would be interested in sponsoring or
donating to She’s a Boss, please send an inquiry through our contact page. We
would love to discuss how we can form a mutually beneficial relationship!
