Women executives in New York

New York carries every layer of this market at once: the largest chapters of the CEO peer organizations, the headquarters and first group of TIGIER 21, the chapters of R360 and the newer founder communities, the angel groups that emerged from the city's finance and media industries, and the densest concentration of private clubs in the country, from the nineteenth-century university and city clubs on the East Side to the members' clubs opened in the last decade downtown. The practical consequence is choice, and the practical problem is cost: New York chapter dues, club initiation fees and rents make the same membership more expensive here than anywhere else, and several clubs operate waiting lists. The organizations below are those with a verified New York chapter, group, clubhouse or office.
