Our collaboration with Ellevate dates back to when Carol Fishman Cohen was one of the early "Power Circle" members of 85 Broads, the organization originally acquired by Sallie Krawcheck which later became Ellevate. In 2007, Ellevate Network (then 85 Broads,) featured Back on the Career Track as part of their book club and hosted a discussion with co-authors Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin. In November 2011, 85 Broads was a sponsor of ourWashington D.C. Return to Work Conference.
Since then, we’ve collaborated on virtual events such as the recorded webinar on the topic of “Everything You Need to Know About Career Breaks,” with Kristy Wallace interviewing Carol Fishman Cohen, along with featuring Kristy Wallace on our 3, 2, 1 iRelaunch podcast who speaks about goal setting, making the most of new beginnings, surrounding yourself with a supportive community and the importance of seeing networking opportunities in your everyday activities.
Most recently, we’ve been a huge proponent and supporter of Ellevate’s EllevateHER Forward initiative as a result of the 2020 pandemic, which is a fellowship grant fund for women economically impacted by COVID-19 to help women return to work.
