Who We Are
Our Mission
The Wing’s mission is the professional, civic, social, and economic advancement of women through community.
Our roots
Founding Mothers
The women’s club movement was formed in the 19th and early 20th century by pioneering women who provided each other with encouraging community at a time when they needed it most.
Carrying the torch
By the 1920s, the movement expanded across the country. Working women met in groups like the Lady Flashers and Lady Millionaires, and prominent women of color, including Ida B. Wells, founded clubs that still exist today.
A new era
Since 2016, The Wing aims to carry on the traditions, values, and spirit of the women’s club movement. We stand on the shoulders of the women who paved the way.
IMPACT
The Wing is committed to living our mission through partnerships with local non-profits, and a scholarship program that offers free memberships to individuals whose work supports the advancement of marginalized women and girls.

Headquartered in New York City, The Wing’s team is made up of experts across fields, from construction to food and beverage, marketing, tech, finance, and more. Meet a few of the amazing humans who make up our team.
