About Us

Women Elevate (WE) at Spaulding Ridge

Spaulding Ridge’s commitment to elevating women in tech.

Cultivating a Space for Women to Lead

At Spaulding Ridge, we are creating a space for women to develop as leaders. We want to provide an endless number of tools and resources to allow women everywhere to reach their highest potential.

(*we mean the term ‘women’ to be inclusive of identities that are outside the gender binary.)

 

 

 

As women, we should never accept anything or anyone that tells us we are not able to do something. If you truly want it or believe in it, then you need to go after it and do it.

Our Peaks of Women Elevate

From our Spaulding Ridge bandmates to our strategic partners and clients, we make a lasting impact on the role of women in the work force.

Supporting Women Communities Globally

Volunteer Events

Across the globe, Women Elevate has volunteered and donated to many causes supporting women’s rights and health. In our Chicago headquarters, Women Elevate came together and served meals through the Lincoln Park Community Shelter and was able to provide meals and leftovers. They also sponsored a food drive for the Greater Chicago Food Depository in November 2022. Women Elevate in Jaipur, India participated in Women’s Shelter Donation Drive in support of IHA Sansthan where they made 20 dignity kits for women in need. These are just two of many examples, but the precedent was set: Women Elevate supports women in their communities and around the globe.
