Diversity in STEM Panel

Women Accelerators is a Massachusetts  501(c) (3) nonprofit organization and a component fund of the Greater Lowell Community Foundation. We are passionate about promoting the advancement of women and bridging the gender gap. This can be seen in the wage gap and under-representation of women in senior-level positions and the boardroom, from Corporate 100 to startups. Our mission is to provide a centralized network and community where career-focused women can access resources tailored toward their career goals. We provide resources and information to help women efficiently navigate work opportunities and to provide a supportive environment that will nurture female leaders. Our vision is to generate a community of like-minded, high-achieving women, who help each other to succeed in the workplace.Check out our webpage atwww.womenaccelerators.orgor email us at info@womenaccelerators.org
