Programs and Events

The Commonwealth Institute is a dynamic non-profit organization that was founded to help women entrepreneurs and chief executives build successful companies. The goal of the Institute is to reach women leaders during the critical stages of their business and to provide them with the tools and resources they need for growth, including:

Commonwealth Forums for CEOs
Each Commonwealth Forum provides a confidential environment for ten women chief executives to meet monthly to share challenges and develop growth strategies. We have also launched a special quarterly forum, facilitated by TCI founder Lois Silverman, for women CEOs of companies with revenues of over $15 million.

Corporate Forums
TCI has launched a new forum to bring together senior executive women across non-competing industries to discuss their business challenges and enrich their business perspectives in a confidential environment.

Expert Resource Connection

The Expert Resource Connection (ERC) provides substantive business-building advice to our members by offering a platform for them to present a specific critical business challenge to a panel of experts.  Experts on the panel provide "real world" advice and connections through this program, which is held three times a year.

Strategies for Success

Strategies for Success is a highly interactive leadership development program that is run in-house to future leaders of a corporation. It is delivered by some of Boston's most successful current and former senior women executives. The program offers compelling benefits for both the company and 25-35 of its high potential women managers identified to be the emerging women leaders.

Women of Ethnic Diversity Initiative

This groundbreaking initiative facilitates ongoing growth for women business owners of ethnically diverse backgrounds. These CEOs enjoy a unique environment for mentoring, access to previously untapped networks, exposure to emerging business opportunities, as well as opportunities to promote their companies online and in the local media.

Million $ Circle Programs
This monthly series addresses current business issues with dynamic speakers, interactive formats, and relevant, actionable business strategies. Our Million $ Circle events allow members to meet their peers, industry experts, and sponsoring organizations.

Breakfast for Champions
Our signature annual fundraising event, the Breakfast for Champions brings together over a thousand executives to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit and to hear the insights of influential women leaders.
