Ellevate Network, the nation’s leading network for professional women, is launching an Orange County chapter on February 15th in Costa Mesa, California.
With more than 40 chapters globally, Ellevate Network provides ambitious professional women with opportunities to connect with one another locally in order to expand their network and develop their skills to be successful at work. The launch of the Orange County chapter will mark the addition of the fourth chapter of Ellevate Network in California (including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego).
Judith Lukomski, OC Ellevate Chapter Co-President and Founder of Transitions Today Performance Consulting, said of the chapter launch: "California ranks as the 8th largest economy in the world in part because of the significant contribution of women in the workplace. Women are claiming leadership roles, starting businesses, and creating non-profits at a record pace. Ellevate affords OC professional women a unique opportunity to connect locally, nationally and globally, to learn from and invest in one another."
Chapter Co-President, employment law attorney Susan Arduengo of Friedman Stroffe & Gerard, P.C. added: “Orange County is a growing hub for global, national, and regional business. We are thrilled to provide Orange County businesswomen with the platform to connect with like- minded women across many industries in this community.”
