The L³ Alliance
Whether they are entrepreneurs, C-level executives, or licensed professionals, self-made, high-net-worth women often feel alone, and sometimes even feel lonely, because of the success they’ve achieved professionally. They frequently need assistance with establishing life balance in the face of their tremendously busy schedules so they can optimize their influence as spouses, parents, and participants in their communities. With emotional support and accountability grounded in mutual understanding and experience, they can give more to the world professionally and philanthropically.
Through membership in the L³ Alliance, these spirited, generous, and deeply compassionate women find this support. At the same time, they champion the philanthropic activities spearheaded by the Wells International Foundation.
MEET OUR CHARTER AMBASSADORS!
We have carefully selected them to represent the Alliance and advocate for it because they “walk our talk”!
They are powerful models of creating a living legacy and of leading by example.
