Luminary - A Collaboration Hub For Women to Develop, Network & Connect

Our Mission

Luminary is a global professional growth platform and community space - a first of its kind - created for women and women-identified, and our male allies, to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors.

Luminary is on a mission to uplift, up-skill, and propel women forward through all phases of their professional journey.

Whether you are entering or re-entering the workforce, a seasoned executive stuck in the middle, embarking on a career transition or entrepreneurship, Luminary is the ultimate career advocate providing “real world” advice, tools, and resources to advance, build, connect, and develop.

Luminary is open to all, and there is no application process to become a Member. We are proud of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Members believe that this community is an ecosystem and an economy that is driven by women, for women.

We invite you to...

COME SIT AT OUR TABLE.

The Center of Everything

Originally designed as a 15,000 square foot physical space in NoMad (NYC), Luminary quickly (and we mean overnight), went digital as we knew the conversation couldn't stop because of a Pandemic.

The obstacles of 2020 presented an opportunity to open our virtual doors and capture a world-wide audience. We now have Members based in 26 countries around the globe, bringing additional diverse perspectives and ideas.

We had to re-build and re-design new tools to stay connected virtually. We have over 300 recorded hours of digital content saved in our Luminary Library, available to all Members on The Link (our Member portal). As a global platform, we find ourselves looking towards the future of endless possibilities for this community!

Whether you’re participating in one of our digital programs from your home office or couch, working in our luxurious and modern space in NYC, or networking in our private, glass-enclosed rooftop lounge, The Glass Ceiling, the Luminary community welcomes you wherever you are in the world because...

WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!
