Built by Women | Made for Women | Designed to Champion Women

Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) is an exclusive community of women executives at leading retailers and brands. Our mission is to foster leadership development for our members by providing an unparalleled mix of events, content and elite connections.

Our community is comprised of successful, motivated and passionate women from the entire retail and brand ecosystem who have a strong belief that investing in themselves and in other women is good business. From CEOs with years of experience to directors working their way up, the common thread is women coming together to learn from each other and help each other succeed.

Focused on both business strategy and executive professional development, WIRLC offers women leaders the opportunity to network, discuss industry issues, and learn how to become better leaders.

The energized core of our community stems from the hundreds of dedicated members who believe and support our mission. Beyond directly connecting with the industry’s most elite women leaders, benefits of membership include discounted event registration, exclusive member-only content, a private networking forum, and so much more.

Women in Retail Leadership Circle is the sister brand of Total Retail, the go-to source for executives looking for the latest news and analysis on the retail industry.
