CED Fellows
CED Fellowship Program for Mid-Career Women Professionals
Advancing Women in Corporate Leadership
The CED Fellowship Program for Mid-Career Women Professionals is an innovative corporate mentoring, networking and leadership training program, designed to create pathways for mid-career women to the C-suite. The objective of the CED Fellowship Program is to further CED’s longstanding objectives to advance women in the workforce and help, in this initial way, to counter the devastating impact COVID has had on mid-career women and the C-suite pipeline.
- Mentorship/Sponsorship: CED Trustees and Corporate Sponsors recruit a mid-career professional and ensure a C-suite executive mentor/sponsor the candidate during the program to create a pathway to success;
- Networking: The mid-career women participants become CED fellows to increase their networking opportunity with CED corporate leaders;
- Leadership Seminar Series: The CED Fellows participate in a Leadership Seminar Series, hosted by CED Trustees and relevant leaders/experts.
The Trustee members of the CED Women in Corporate Leadership Committee (WICL) provides oversight of the program.
