IT’S TIME FOR A WORKPLACE WITH NO LIMITS2015 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.”
Karen Stuckey, Wal-Mart Stores Inc.NEW Board Chair

willing to share their wisdom.”
Valerie OswaltMondelēz International
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.

INNOVATING WITH
INCLUSIONThe 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.
“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 Acosta Sales & Marketing
NEW North Texas Secretary
“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

“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.”

In 2015 the Network unveiled the groundbreaking NEW Career
Accelerator Model™, the foundation for a powerful pyramid of
innovative career-building programs. Created in partnership with
the Center for Creative Leadership, the Model is based on surveys
with more than 1,200 industry members and outlines the 13 critical
success factors specific to women leaders in retail and consumer
goods. The Career Accelerator Model™ — and the NEW career
programs, events, webinars and content based on it — provide
a strong formula for personal and organizational growth.
A FORMULA FOR

A PYRAMID OF LEARNING
The NEW Career Accelerator Model™
is the foundation of all NEW learning programs,
including our webinars, NEW Executive Institute,
NEW Career Accelerator Workshop and
NEW Rising Stars for Mid-Level Leaders.“NEW Executive Institute has
been inspiring and motivating. I
have new tools to help propel me
into my next role — and beyond.
What an amazing experience.”

ONLINE, INDUSTRYWIDE AND
FACE TO FACECome to a NEW event and you’ll see it happen: Connections are made. Imaginations
are fired. Hearts are touched. Resolve is found. NEW is a marketplace of ideas
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
industry and partner company meetings.
“The NEW Summit
has helped me think
outside the box. The event
is inspirational — and the
networking is just unbelievable.”
Vanessa Lecorps Nestlé Waters NA NEW Ambassador

It’s a warm spring day in Anaheim, California, and more
than 700 industry members have gathered to network,
get a briefing on NEW’s “It’s Time” Movement and hear
one of the country’s top motivational speakers. In 2015,
the Network’s 20 regions hosted a record 132 events
— large learning events like the NEW Southern
California event in Anaheim, and other smaller
events, like mixers, sponsor receptions
and college outreach programs. All
these meetings were produced
by more than 800 NEW regional
officers and volunteers, who
conduct their own promotion,
outreach and social media,
recruit new members, enlist
regional sponsors, raise money
and bring our mission home
to the communities where our
members live and work.
THE MISSION STARTS
HERE
AND THE WINNER IS...
NEW recognized its regional servant
leaders at the NEW Celebrating Excellence Gala
in October, awarding the Bobbie O’Hare Regional
Leader of the Year Award to Dr. Angela Joyner
and the NEW Region of the Year Award to
NEW Southern California. Achievement
awards also were presented to seven
other regional groups and each region
recognized its own “best of
the best” leader.

FINDING SOLUTIONS
TOGETHERThe 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.”

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.

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.”
