Ellevate Network membership requirements

Every criterion Ellevate Network publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it — plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.

Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.

Gender	Ellevate describes itself as "the largest community of women at work" and states its mission as "creating a world where everyone belongs by helping women who challenge the status quo thrive at work"	Ellevate does not publish an explicit rule on whether men may join; the organisation's programming, chapters and Squads are addressed to women.

There is no vetting threshold. Tiers differ by price and access, not by eligibility.

How admission works

Application process

Members sign up online and choose a tier; there is no application form, sponsor, interview or vetting step. New members are pointed to a live welcome session, described as Ellevate 101. Corporate partners buy access for groups of employees separately.

Invitation required

Sponsor required

Selectivity

Not applicable: Ellevate is an open-enrolment community with no published eligibility test or acceptance process.

Membership term

Monthly or annual subscription; prices quoted per month when paid up front

Primary audience

Professional women at all career stages, from early career through senior executive, plus corporate partners buying membership for their employees

Typical member

Professional women across industries and career stages. Ellevate's tiers distinguish general members from senior executives: the Executive tier's Squads programme was described as connecting "other senior executives", while Pro-tier Squads were open more broadly.
