CEW is a member-based organisation, comprising over 200 of Australia’s leading business women. CEW has a shared goal to facilitate greater representation of women at senior levels of Australian business, government and the not-for-profit sectors.
Founded in 1985 by a group of pioneering female executives, the original mission of CEW was to provide a supportive environment for its members to meet and discuss issues of mutual interest. This has evolved over the years to include a range of programs and activities to support the development of women leaders at all levels within the business world.
CEW Scholarships aim to assist women in furthering their careers, enabling more women leaders. The scholarships can be in fields where women are traditionally under-represented or provided in recognition of scarce funding for professional development in sectors such as Not-For-Profit.
Post graduate qualifications from respected institutions can enhance career advancement and act as a key point of differentiation when considering candidates for leadership positions. Creating additional opportunities for emerging women leaders to undertake post-graduate studies such as MBAs and professional development programs makes an active contribution to increasing the number of women in positions of leadership.
For almost twenty years CEW has funded annual scholarships to realise its vision of women leaders enabling women leaders.
Today, CEW runs a highly successful Leaders program for senior women in over 30 of Australia’s top corporations; supports in conjunction with Ernst and Young the CEO Kit which provides a framework for companies to identify and address barriers within their organisations; and provides sponsorships annually to fund professional development opportunities for aspiring women leaders. CEW also continues to play a key role to play in the public debate over equal gender representation in the Australian business landscape.
CEW’s core values are: collegiality, altruism, authenticity, respect and, vision.
