Vision
2
Visible Representation.
A more balanced representation and visibility of genders and their diverse backgrounds in the economics profession.
3
A culture of inclusion.
A discipline where belonging is the norm, not the exception.
Mission
INFORM.
We broaden the conversation.
Through our blog, podcast, and research, we highlight the contributions of women economists and bring overlooked perspectives into the conversation about economics, gender, and power.
CONNECT.
We build networks.
From local branches to one-on-one mentorship, we create spaces where women economists meet, collaborate, and find peers, including in places where those spaces don't yet exist.
EMPOWER.
We encourage economists to
step forward.
Through activities like our Brown Bag Seminar Series, we support women economists to share their work, develop their careers, and lead change in the profession.
