Organizations Filed Purposes: Advance women, grow business & transform our industry's workplace through the power of community.

In 2019, NEW worked to tailor our learning programs to the needs of our members more closely than ever before, and that hard work paid off in increased attendance and programs that expertly filled our partner's needs. Our Learning and Development team launched exciting new programs at the forefront of Diversity and Inclusion. 'Engaging Men in the Movement and 'Action for Women of Color' have been well-received by our member base as well as by our corporate partner stakeholders. We launched our newest piece of proprietary research on Generation Z, to ensure our partners are prepared for a new group of women entering the workforce. And we saw a significant uptick in the number of participants in our learning programs. We grew our most exciting learning opportunities of the year by embracing an edict of deeper intersectionality. We were intentional about telling the story not just of all women, but of LGBTQI+ individuals and women of color at our events. NEW wants companies to truly advance all women, and that starts with education not just via new corporate solutions, but by broadcasting a message of inclusion on our own home turf. In 2019, we pivoted Regions into cohesive groups executing the mission of NEW, and Regions met and exceeded $1 million in revenue, a major milestone. Our number of regional events and event attendance have grown substantially, and that jump could not have occurred without the hard work of our members in the field. More and more, our Regions and their activities are woven into the fabric of who we are as an organization, working toward our common cause of advancing all women. Last year NEW spread its reach to a broader variety of members. We have now welcomed non-binary members to our ranks, and people of color make up more of our reported membership makeup than ever before. No matter where our members are -- in their careers, in their organizations, within our partner companies or as independent members -- they have all joined with us to work toward our common goal of Advancing All Women. We're a team fighting for a better workplace, and we're lucky to have such brave change-agents with us. NEW Rising Stars saw a whopping 38% increase in attendance. We successfully launched Mastermind Groups, supporting senior-level women with a confidential and trusted space to connect with others like them and bust C-suite issues with the power of collaboration. We created Virtual Leadership Essentials for teams whose needs didn't fit Rising Stars, but who wanted to ensure their high-potential leaders had the best chance possible to grow. We enhanced and updated Executive Leadership Lab. Perhaps most exciting, we added new D&I solutions for our corporate partners. 'The Blueprint for Gender Equality' codifies NEW's position and thought leadership on what companies must do to reach gender equality. This program showcases the best practices companies are putting into place, and helps corporations develop them within their organization through a series of workshops. We also developed 'Engaging Men in the Movement,' a tool to help organizations boost male sponsorship of women into leadership roles and provide concrete solutions for men who want to be allies but may not know where to begin. And with 'Action for Women of Color,' we provided a solution for organizations willing to truly tackle the challenges and issues facing women of color, starting with building empathy and ending with tangible action. NEW also continued to launch proprietary research into the issues affecting women, and in 2019 the focus was on Generation Z. NEW is devoted to advancing all women, and those women entering the workplace in the next few years will need to be engaged in different ways. With a gap in the number of jobs that need to be filled and a new generation entering the workforce, we supported our partners by collaborating with Deloitte to learn what makes Gen Z tick. NEW's Partners are the reason NEW has been able to touch the lives of so many women over the last 19 years. Our 2019 partners have helped us continue to spread a network of development and support which reaches from coast to coast. Partners fund our infrastructure, our proprietary research, and our member support, among many other initiatives. Partner Company leaders guide our board of directors and advocate for the workplace transformation NEW was designed to create. Through our leadership programs and regional events, we provide our corporate members with connections and educational opportunities that set them up to excel.

NEW's volunteer leadership is the backbone of our organization, and is key to bringing our mission to light. Our Ambassadors spread our network and advocate for NEW within our partner organizations. Our Regional Leaders guide and direct our regional efforts, shouldering the responsibility of planning, grassroots organizing, and execution at the local level. NEW Regions saw a 21% increase in total regional event registrations and hosted 165 events from coast to coast. Regional leaders recruited new sponsors from a diverse industry base and focused on enhancing the value of the experiences they produce to enable members to learn, develop, and advance.

NEW Leadership Summit offered over 1,200 of our members unique opportunities to swap stories, connect, and hear from some of the top minds in transforming our workplaces. 2019 saw conference programming broaden in scope to focus more on Diversity and Inclusion as a whole.
