SARATOGA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- UPWARD, the global network for executive women, announces the acquisition of the Hipower Executive Leadership Program into its operations to enhance its offerings.
"Since its inception in 2012, the Hipower Executive Women's Leadership Program, has executed this year-long series for executive women in the San Francisco Bay Area and has established a reputation for being a premiere leadership organization for professional women. We're thrilled to add this program to our existing portfolio of UPWARD events," said Lisa Lambert, Founder/Chair and CEO of UPWARD.
"We're excited to become part of the programming offered by UPWARD. Executive women all over the United States and the world have drawn inspiration and have advanced their careers. UPWARD and Hipower have highly complimentary missions and we look forward to growing Hipower throughout UPWARD's many global chapters," said Mona Sabet, Founder of the Hipower program.
For the 2018 programming year, UPWARD will manage the Hipower Signature Program in Palo Alto and San Francisco, and will manage events for its alumni network. UPWARD will look to expand the Hipower program to its global chapters over time as part of its overall growth strategy.
The Hipower Executive Leadership Program challenges today's female leaders to discover their identity beyond their titles and organizations. An intimate group of selected candidates will form a cohort "ring" and will participate in a series of six workshops led by distinguished faculty and brand experts, concluded with a group off-site retreat. Ring members that have completed the program are also invited back to be part of the alumni network.
