IT’S TIME FOR A WORKPLACE WITH
NO LIMITS
2015 was a year of transformation for the Network of Executive Women. It
started in January at the FMI Midwinter Executive Conference in Miami, where
we enrolled senior industry leaders in our “It’s Time” Movement for women’s
leadership and workplace change. Our fresh start included a new mission, new
learning programs, a new inclusion initiative and a bold new vision: a workplace
with no limits.
“We’re creating a bigger
and more powerful
Network to transform
our industry’s workplace
and move the needle on
women’s leadership.”
Joan Toth
NEW President and CEO
October 1, 2015, Dallas
“Our powerful new
Network will help
the industry become
a leading destination
for women, millennials
and multicultural talent.”

WE ARE OUR
PEOPLE
The Network’s community grew 8.6 percent in 2015
— thousands more participated in NEW events and
programs industrywide. But NEW is not satisfied with
incremental growth — in 2015 we laid the groundwork
for our biggest expansion ever, an ambitious plan to
double our membership by 2020.
“You are surrounded
by passionate professionals
willing to share their wisdom.”

INNOVATING WITH
INCLUSION
The retail and consumer goods workforce is getting more diverse — and so
is the Network of Executive Women. Our inclusion initiative is on a mission
to create a Network that’s 10 percent men, 20 percent new generation and
30 percent multicultural. In 2015, our Inclusion Committee, headed by Ken
Charles of General Mills, helped ensure that diversity was embedded in every
aspect of NEW — from leadership to events, from outreach to content —
reflecting the diverse communities we serve, including men, millennials,
women of color and the LGBT community.
“I was ‘volun-told’ to attend the
NEW Summit 10 years ago. That has
manifested into championing the
advancement of women in my
company and in the industry.”
PJ Connor
Hormel Foods Corporation

“Belonging to
NEW has benefited my
personal and professional
development. I have gained
political skill, networking confidence
and office savvy and have learned
how to be a better leader.”
Nicole Wright

NEW North Texas Secretary
“Our NEW Leadership Academy
lunch-and-learns have brought
us together. The content ties to
the culture we are building and
the post-webinar conversations
have been priceless.”

and a proving ground for leaders — a supportive place where women and men of all
backgrounds can share their insights and aspirations. Nearly 24,000 Network members
and supporters became smarter and better connected leaders in 2015, attending more
than 150 NEW conferences, regional events, mixers, webinars and outreach events at

FINDING SOLUTIONS
TOGETHER
The Network’s 98 corporate partners have millions of employees and
billions in sales. They also have a proven commitment to women’s
leadership and workplace change. NEW partners represent nearly
90 percent of our membership. And their leaders are our leaders,
donating their time to serve as officers, Board members,
Ambassadors, committee leads and volunteers. The
financial contributions of our corporate partners
make our work possible, but it is their passion
that really fuels our Network. Their belief in
the Network and its mission is one of our
most valuable assets.
“Through its NEW
partnership, Hallmark is
cultivating a culture that not only
embraces diversity and encourages
women’s leadership, but will result in
increased retention rates of women and
improved performance for the company.”

ENGAGE
The Network’s message of workplace transformation
reached hundreds of thousands of people throughout the
industry through special content, earned and paid media,
websites, outbound marketing, apps, social media and
video. Launched in January, our “It’s Time” campaign for
women’s leadership made millions of impressions.
It included trade advertising, an interactive engagement
website and a special 24-page magazine distributed
with Progressive Grocer. NEW content included our
“Accelerators” report on women’s leadership and more
than 50 blogs written by career experts and industry
leaders. NEW social media followers increased
67 percent to more than 29,000 followers — another
22,000 supporters joined the conversation on our
regions’ social media accounts.

JUDGE US BY OUR
LEADERS
The Network’s volunteer Board is made up of talented
and passionate women and men from some of the largest
organizations in the retail, consumer goods and services industry.
Their leadership is driving change in their own organizations —
and the entire industry. Their hard work and dedication to NEW’s
mission proves what Elizabeth Andrew said: “Volunteers don’t
necessarily have the time — they just have the heart.”
“It’s a privilege to
serve on the NEW Board
of Directors. Working with such
a talented group of leaders has
broadened my understanding of
diversity and inclusion issues facing
the Industry and inspired me to help
resolve them.”
