In 2011, the Network launched regional groups in Atlanta and the Pacifi c Northwest and laid the groundwork for two more groups in Phoenix and

Houston — a record for regional development. Nearly 9,000 Network members and supporters — students, associates, managers, senior

executives and CEOs — attended 34 learning events hosted by NEW regions in the U.S. and Canada, an attendance increase of 33 percent.

Thousands more attended informal mixers and outings. The Network’s regional groups don’t just produce great events, they provide leadership

opportunities for more than 500 regional offi cers and committee members plus mentoring and outreach programs that benefi t the entire industry.

Meetings of the minds

10

Meetings of the mindsThe industry’s best minds and boldest leaders meet at the Network’s national conferences. In 2011 we hosted three unique industrywide

events: Rosalind Brewer of Walmart, Sandy Douglas of Coca-Cola and Robert Abernathy of Kimberly-Clark addressed the NEW Multicultural

Workforce Conference March 1-3 in Atlanta; media mogul Arianna Huffi ngton and SUPERVALU CEO Craig Herkert headlined the

NEW Executive Leaders Forum July 19-21 in Los Angeles; and the NEW Leadership Summit September 19-20 in Orlando looked at

“the next 10 years” with three keynotes, 12 breakout sessions, and half-day NEW Leadership Academy and NEW Corporate Athlete workshops.

Education is in our DNAEducation is in our DNAEducation is in our DNA

Network education programs reach thousands of senior

executives, middle managers, emerging leaders and college students every year. More than a thousand

Network members participated directly in our NEW Leadership Academy training webinars in 2011, with hundreds more watching at “lunch and learn” events or online in our Study Hall. Other initiatives included our

ongoing Knowledge Bank series, an expanded trio of monthly newsletters and original research like our landmark report, “The Changing Consumer

and the Workforce Imperative.” The Network is a leading source of industry and diversity news. Articles, interviews and blogs increased 71 percent in 2011; Network videos nearly tripled; and social media postings increased

tenfold. NEW expanded its education commitment in November by hiring industry veteran Kathy Bayert as director of learning and advisory services.

The Network’s success is measured in the people we touch and the partners we support. In 2011, Network membership grew 51 percent to more than

5,000; regional and national sponsor support grew 32 percent to $2.1 million; website traffic increased 66 percent and our social media fans

and followers increased by a factor of five. In 2011, the Network introduced a new top-tier Foundation sponsor level and five companies quickly stepped

up: Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble and Walmart. These companies and nearly 70 other national Network sponsors

are sold on the values of the Network.

Five thousand members are at our heart

Leadership spoken hereBest of the Best 2011 Regional officersEach year, members of the Network’s regions nominate one person as their

“Best of the Best” committee member, recognized for their teamwork, creativity,

communication skills, industry knowledge and commitment to the Network’s mission.

18

Leadership spoken hereMore than 500 Network members — one out of every 10 — served as a regional officer or committee member in 2011. Many others served at the national level or worked as a volunteer. Network service provides invaluable leadership experience, builds professional networks and raises the profile of the women and men who serve. These servant leaders build their careers and help their organizations as they shape the future of the Network.

Best of the Best regionNEW Northern CaliforniaThe Network recognizes the collective achievements of one region each year with

its “Best of the Best” region award. In 2011, NEW Northern California and its team

of nearly 50 committee members were recognized for serving as a source of best

practices shared throughout the Network. The group led the way in social media,

piloted new succession planning tools and was the first group to mentor a start-up

region — Pacific Northwest. The region was led by Co-Chairs Lori Proctor of Procter

& Gamble and Erica Swanson of Slalom Consulting, Treasurer Audrey Goins Brichi

of Chevron and Secretary Michelle Tonner of Daymon Worldwide.

Bobbie O’Hare AwardSue KlugSue Klug, president of the Albertsons division of SUPERVALU and Co-Chair,

Logistics for NEW Southern California, received the 2011 Bobbie O’Hare Award as

the Network’s “volunteer of the year.” The award is named for former Regional Chair

Bobbie O’Hare of JOH, who helped lead the development of NEW’s regional groups,

and recognizes outstanding commitment and service. “We are mentored by just

observing how she conducts herself, how she runs our team and how she handles

challenging situations,” Klug’s fellow committee members wrote when nominating

her. “She is a role model to all of us — and to virtually all who know her.”

“Ten years after its founding, the Network of Executive Women has reached a turning

point. The consumer products and retail industry has begun to leverage the talent and leadership skills of its

women, but we still have a long way to go. At NEW, work is underway to analyze workforce trends and the needs

of our stakeholders so that we can best help the industry attract, retain and advance high-potential women. Together

we have put diversity on the industry’s agenda. Now we must achieve real inclusion by making our decision making as diverse as our customers. Nothing we do in our careers

will be more important than building this legacy.”
