Women's Leadership Committee

Our Mission

The mission of the CAI Women’s Leadership Committee (WLC) is to provide education and resources to mentor, support and empower women aspiring to grow within or enter the industry.

Developing Initiatives

Educational Programs: The Women’s Leadership committee will be hosting a variety of educational programs targeting issues affecting women in business as well as topics related to professional growth. Both men and women are encouraged to participate as topics are not gender exclusive and will benefit all attendees.

Networking Opportunities: Building a network of women to support your professional and personal growth is challenging. Women’s Leadership Network facilitates connections between participants by hosting networking events and other activities that build business relationships.

Book Club: Successful leaders find ways to stay on the cutting edge in their fields. The Women’s Leadership Committee has selected a list of books that support women in leadership roles, as well as books that promote personal and professional growth. Join the discussions! 

Virtual Discussion Groups: The Women’s Leadership Committee will host virtual discussion groups on podcasts that are both inspirational as well as educational, to help women become leaders in their industry.

Mentorship Program: Ultimately, participants will have the opportunity to join in the mentorship program. We will link mentors and mentees together to encourage support and growth. More information coming soon…
