Women Leading Ed

Women Leading Ed (WLE) is the nation’s leading nonprofit network of bipartisan women leaders transforming public education. From state commissioners to district superintendents to next-in-line executives, our members are at the helm of systems that shape the lives of millions of students, and they’re leading for the long-run.

Our mission is to cultivate a community of women education leaders who are equipped, connected, and supported to rise into and sustain in top roles, and to drive meaningful, lasting change for students, schools, and systems.

WLE’s network spans all 50 states, uniting over 500 bipartisan district and state superintendents, charter school leaders, and c-suite executives. Together, they lead with vision and courage, serving more than 20 million students - almost 1 in 2 public school students nationwide.

We support our member community through intentional development pathways, strategic sponsorship, and high-impact partnerships that expand what’s possible for women, and for the future of education. We provide the development, research, and relationships to help women lead with impact and deliver results for schools, communities, and the future of education.

We believe the next generation of impactful leadership is already here. It’s time to identify, elevate, and sustain these leaders to bring bold, transformative change to our nation.

Women Leading Ed. For a change.
