Women: The New Face Of Business Success

We are seeing a change in the business world. More and more women are emerging as leaders in a world that has traditionally been dominated by men. Women make up nearly half of the US labor force but have never really held a majority in positions of power. However, we are seeing an ever emerging presence of women at the top of the career ladder.

Just a few years ago 0 women held CEO positions in fortune 1000 companies. Today, there are 22. Women have also overtaken men in management and professional positions in business and now make up 54.4 of individuals in those positions.

All of these and more point to a new shift in women becoming more influential in the labor force. One place where this is most evident can be seen at the WBENC. The Women Business Enterprise National Council is dedicated to helping women succeed in business and has been accomplishing their mission very well. This year-s conference featured over 10,000 participants who came to learn and further the position of women in business. We are ever more seeing a level playing field for women to succeed. This has brought on a new face of business success and that face is of successful women.
