The Boston Women's Workforce Council (BWWC) facilitates a public-private partnership between the Boston Mayors office and Boston-area employers to make sure women, and particularly women of color, are both advanced and paid equitably.

Over 200 employers have signed the 100% Talent Compact pledging to:

seek gender equality in their firms share best practices with other Compact Signers by attending quarterly briefing sessions contribute their payroll data confidentially every two years to the BWWC Wage Gap Measurement effort so that we can report a community snapshot of progress made in closing the gaps provide funding for the Councils operations

The BWWC is housed at Boston University which acts as the organizations fiscal agent, allowing all membership dues to be tax deductible. All BU benefits, therefore, are available to employees of the BWWC and include health and dental care, 401K contributions and tuition remission among others.

The Director of Strategic Engagement (DSE) is a senior staff person who, in partnership with the Executive Director, is responsible for developing and executing strategies to grow and maintain the BWWC membership base. The DSE will not only lead the current programs that foster strong connections and engagement with stakeholders but will also help with any new initiatives that are implemented to in the BWWCs future. Essentially, they will act as a bridge between the BWWC and its external environment to drive positive outcomes.
