As we at Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) and our community know well, women make an incredible impact across the retail industry and beyond. Our mission at WIRLC is to uplift female leaders and support their professional growth, and we’ve had the immense honor to connect with countless female industry trailblazers in the nearly 10 years since our organization began.
During March, Women’s History Month, we’re taking time to reflect on the hundreds of women leaders who we’ve featured in a profile, report, or podcast; who’ve joined us on stage at our Women in Retail Leadership Summit and On the Road in-person events; who’ve videoed in for our Virtual Exchanges and Workshops, and much more.
