The November 12 event will bring executives together for leadership, connection and business opportunities as C-Sweet celebrates becoming a Certified B Corporation™.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- C-Sweet™, a national community of female executives dedicated to advancing women in business and leadership, today announces that it has become a Certified B Corporation™, joining a global community of businesses verified as meeting standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
The certification represents a significant milestone for C-Sweet and reinforces a philosophy that has guided the organization since its founding: businesses can succeed while creating meaningful and measurable impact for their employees, communities, and the broader world.
"For C-Sweet, becoming a B Corp™ is more than earning a certification," said Dianne Gubin, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of C-Sweet. "It reflects who we are and why C-Sweet exists. We created this community to help accomplished executives connect and create opportunities to work together, as we use collective influence to make a difference."
C-Sweet features executives at the Board, C-Suite, Vice President and Director levels across Fortune 1000, middle-market and fast-growth companies. Its growing community brings leaders together through executive networking, thought leadership, professional development, mentorship, strategic introductions, and events. C-Sweet includes a Market Place featuring members' businesses, executive search, and the C-Sweet Talks podcast.
The organization is built around the premise: when female leaders collaborate, everyone benefits.
"Women have tremendous economic and organizational influence, and that influence continues to grow," said Beth Hilbing, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of C-Sweet. "Our responsibility is not just to help women reach the next level individually. It is to create a community in which successful women actively open doors, exchange knowledge, and create opportunities for each other. Becoming a B Corp strengthens this commitment."
B Corp Milestone Leads Into C-Sweet Summit 2026
The B Corp Certification announcement comes as C-Sweet prepares for its signature national event, the C-Sweet Summit 2026: Grow + Thrive = Success, taking place Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
The Summit brings together executives and rising leaders from across industries for a full day of thought leadership, peer connection and practical conversations focused on the challenges and opportunities shaping business today. Programming will explore board and executive leadership, capital and economic strategy, artificial intelligence and business transformation, governance, innovation and the evolving responsibilities of today's leaders.
"Our theme, Grow + Thrive = Success, speaks directly to where leaders and businesses find themselves today," Gubin said. "Growth alone isn't enough. Leaders also have to navigate enormous technical, economic and cultural change while building organizations and careers that can thrive for the long term."
Attendees will also have opportunities to build relationships across the C-Sweet community, with an optional extended experience featuring a behind-the-scenes Sony Pictures Studios tour and executive lunch. An additional event will be a private tour of the new Lucas Museum.
A Growing Community of Women Helping Women Succeed
C-Sweet's B Corp certification comes as the organization continues to expand its national presence and deepen its relationships with corporations, entrepreneurs, investors and executive leaders.
Through its events, community, partnerships and programming, C-Sweet seeks to create opportunities that extend beyond traditional networking: helping executives build stronger professional relationships, access expertise and resources, develop business opportunities, and increase member influence within their organizations and communities.
"C-Sweet has always been about creating real relationships and real opportunities," Hilbing said. "B Corp certification gives us an additional framework for holding ourselves accountable to the impact we desire."
