Bellamy joined WIRLC in 2017 after attending the Women in Retail Leadership Summit, WIRLC's annual event that hosts 300-plus women retail executives for two-and-half days of retail strategy and professional development.

She currently holds a leadership position in merchandising at Gap Inc.

"We're excited that Jasmine has joined Women in Retail Leadership Circle's advisory board as Diversity and Inclusion Director," said Melissa Campanelli, co-founder, Women in Retail Leadership Circle.

Bellamy's new role as diversity director will include advising the Women in Retail Leadership Circle's board regarding association growth, supporting content, and live events. She will also contribute to the association's weekly e-newsletter, Inner Circle.

"I'm thrilled to join the Women in Retail Leadership Circle board as its first Diversity and Inclusion Director," Bellamy said.
