Our Story!

We believed in the power of women long before they had a seat at the table.

Established in 1912 – eight years before the 19th amendment was ratified – as the “League of Advertising Women”, She Runs It has evolved to be a global community of 6,000+ members across more than 40 states and 12 countries. Subsequently named Advertising Women of New York, we ultimately became She Runs It in 2016 in recognition of the fact that our community had grown beyond just New York, and our industry had expanded beyond just Advertising.

She Runs It has impacted my career by providing a great network of women who lead by example and are always willing to lend a hand. I found a great mentor through SRI and have had great experiences as a mentor myself.

The 2019 Multi-Cultural Bootcamp was the event that really kicked off my participation with She Runs It. The in person experience was extremely engaging from the keynote to the panelists to the networking ice breakers.

I love being a She Runs It mentor because the reverse mentorship effect is really powerful. I learn from my mentees perspective as much as they learn from my professional background.
