WOMEN Executives [WOSB] in FEDERAL Contracting Alliance

The Executive Women’s Roundtable (EWR) is an FCCoC signature program designed to empower senior women leaders in federal contracting. EWR provides a platform to seize opportunities, navigate complex industry challenges, and achieve greater impact in both professional and personal arenas.

Throughout the year, members engage in executive networking receptions, quarterly leadership dinners with high-level speakers, and an annual national leadership development summit. These exclusive gatherings foster collaboration among top-tier executives while providing actionable strategies and insights into the evolving landscape of federal contracting.

Goals

• Represent the nation’s most accomplished women executives and business owners in the federal contracting community.
   
• Recognize, educate, and connect women leaders who drive business growth and innovation.
   
• Provide members with opportunities to build strategic relationships and alliances.

The FCCoC Executive Women’s Roundtable is more than a networking forum—it is a national platform for women who lead, innovate, and transform the federal contracting community.

The FCCoC Executive Women’s Roundtable (EWR) Advisory Council serves as the strategic leadership body guiding the vision, programming, and impact of the EWR. 

Composed of accomplished executives, business owners, and thought leaders from across the federal contracting community, the Advisory Council ensures that EWR remains aligned with FCCoC’s mission to empower women leaders, expand opportunity, and advance excellence in the federal marketplace.

Council members provide critical insight into emerging challenges, industry trends, and leadership priorities facing women in federal contracting. By shaping programming, advising on policy engagement, and fostering strategic partnerships, the EWR Advisory Council strengthens the Roundtable’s role as a national platform for connection, influence, and leadership. Their stewardship ensures that EWR continues to elevate women executives and drive measurable impact across the federal contracting ecosystem.
