The mission of the Network of Executive (NEW) women is “To attract, retain and advance women in the consumer products and retail industry through education, leadership and business development. The network was founded by a joint industry team of 25 executive women from retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, suppliers, industry associations and the media. It was incorporated on April 23, 2001. Today, NEW has expanded to include over 300 members that represent over 150 companies from across the industry. NEW was founded because women represent an under-tapped market at the middle- and upper-management levels of business today, particularly in the consumer products and retail industry.
