Abstract:

A recent survey of New York UJA-Federation agencies reveals that the number of female CEOs has increased significantly over the past seven years and that almost half of those second in command are women. To enable this nucleus of women in management positions to crack the glass ceiling in the coming years, this article presents a series of recommendations relating to mentoring, skill development, communication, and networking.
