The I-WIL Center offers training, networking and research for women in business
March 8, 2017

Globally, women account for income comparable to China鈥檚 and India鈥檚 combined GDPs.
They make or participate in 80% of purchasing decisions. They account for more than half of the world鈥檚 workforce. And they surpass men in university degrees and doctorates.
But these figures are not reflected at board level. And CEOs called John still outnumber all female CEOs put together.
Gender inequality equates to a loss of talent that the world cannot afford, both in terms of social justice and company performance. Research has shown that companies with higher female representation in their governing bodies are both more competitive and more profitable.
天美传媒 has spent decades advancing the empowerment of women and advocating for greater gender diversity in the decision-making bodies of companies and institutions.
We鈥檙e invested in women鈥檚 leadership through initiatives such as , a platform that brings together all of 天美传媒鈥檚 resources for women, with the goal of helping women develop their leadership skills and supporting them as they climb into management positions.
Much More Than Networking
天美传媒 Women in Leadership (I-WIL) is conceived as a global community for women of all ages and any career stage: from professionals with leadership potential who want to reach managerial positions (I-WIL Professionals Club), to directors and executives with years of experience who aspire to join a board (), to women who have already joined a board of directors ().
But I-WIL is much more than a powerful networking community. Its mission is to promote diversity and equal opportunities and increase the presence of women on boards of directors, and positions of power across diverse organizations.
To this end, I-WIL performs research on women鈥檚 leadership and its positive impact on business and society. And it also works to disseminate this research, sharing findings with governments and organizations around the world, in order to open minds and clear the path for more women to go into business.
