Our goal is a quantum LEAP forward both for our members and for women worldwide. LEAP provides resources to incubate and enhance both female owned for-profit enterprises and public benefit non-profits in all stages of development. We also serve as a task force for charitable events based locally and worldwide. Our fundamental underpinnings are: Fellowship, Education, and Opportunity.

To achieve our mission, LEAP utilizes the diverse skill sets of our members, a greater network of like-minded people, and the proceeds of our endowment. Through many levels of resource management (including micro-lending, grant procurement, corporate sponsorship, and event facilitation), we are able to assist many individuals and organizations in their quests for success. Via prudent financial stewardship, LEAP is creating its own endowment with residual proceeds that will provide a significant asset pool for worthy borrowers worldwide.

LEAP members also enjoy a special sisterhood that is a cornerstone of our personal, charitable, and business endeavors. We have access to a variety of professional services, support systems, and events as well as reaping many other benefits that come from working side by side with fabulously talented, diverse women!
