ELFA Women’s Subcommittee Mission/Vision Statement
The ELFA
Women’s Subcommittee unites leaders of influence in the equipment
finance industry who know that gender-diverse leadership contributes to
more successful and resilient organizations.
We are leading the
evolution of ELFA into a more accessible, inclusive organization that
reflects the diversity of our members and the markets they serve. A
critical component of the long-term success of our industry and
association will be inclusive, innovative leadership driven in part by
increasing the engagement of women at all levels in our association and
member companies.
Access – The EWS is committed to driving
change in the association and our industry by providing more access and
inclusiveness to women at all stages in their equipment finance careers.
We will accomplish this through focus on the following:
Awareness
– The EWS will provide education, information and insights to identify
opportunities for increased gender-diverse leadership in our association
and industry.
Advocacy – The EWS will advocate for the
advancement of women in equipment finance in leadership positions in the
association and member companies. We will advocate for truly inclusive
association engagement.
Action – Through cutting-edge thought
leadership, mentoring and programming, the EWS will provide solutions
the association and member companies can leverage to strengthen gender
diversity in leadership.
One measure of our success will be ELFA member engagement in the following areas:
• Makeup of the Board of Directors
• Makeup of the Business Council Steering Committees
• Attendance at the Annual Convention
• Representation among speakers/panelists at the Annual Conferences
