Women’s Leadership Accelerator

The Women’s Leadership Accelerator offers an intensive program of mentoring, discussion and learning from some of the top minds in digital media. Participants work closely with mentors on challenges unique to their careers and also will receive support and coaching from ONA.

The Women’s Leadership Accelerator is aimed at leaders who are pushing innovation in digital media and pushing the industry forward. In addition to learning leadership skills and tools for navigating change, you will get practical feedback on a challenge specific to your career — a realistic obstacle you’d like to overcome, or an aspirational goal you’d like to achieve, either within your organization or as an independent project.

Tuition for the 2025 Women’s Leadership Accelerator is $1,000 and all selected participants will receive a full pass to ONA’s annual conference. For more information, please refer to the Accelerator’s FAQs. You can apply here.
