Your next chapter. Built with intention.
Some of today's most interesting careers no longer fit inside one job title.
The Lattice is for senior women leaders building portfolio careers — varied, self-directed and designed on their own terms.
Online Community membership is open. Peer Circle applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Two ways to join The Lattice
Connect with experienced peers across the country, or join a smaller, consistent group for facilitated conversation and practical support.
Online Community
- Ongoing connection with experienced senior women across sectors and regions, through our private Slack community and monthly one-hour online calls.
- Exchange expertise, ask for input and share useful opportunities and resources.
- Join independently of a Peer Circle.
Peer Circles
- Small, curated group of experienced professionals, meeting regularly with the same peers to work through real decisions, opportunities and challenges.
- Ten facilitated monthly sessions with a consistent group.
- Online Community membership and monthly community calls included.

Women aren't stepping back. They're stepping differently.
Senior women are building advisory practices, expanding board work, launching companies, taking fractional roles, and assembling portfolios that reflect the full range of what they know.
The Lattice connects them in a vetted community where experienced women leaders learn from one another, exchange referrals and opportunities, and extend one another's reach.
Participation is intentional.
The Lattice is for senior women leaders with at least 15 years of senior leadership experience across companies, entrepreneurial ventures, boards, professional services, the public sector, or institutions. They are:
- Seeking a professional home base with access to resources, connections, and tools
- Moving out of a traditional full-time leadership structure — or having already done so
- Building advisory, fractional, board, entrepreneurial, or portfolio work
- Looking for peers who understand both the possibilities and practical realities of working differently
- Ready to contribute experience, perspective, relationships, and opportunities to the strength of the network
What connects us: A deliberate choice to work on our own terms and to build whatever comes next.
Access experienced leadership that traditional recruiting misses.
We are building a national network of experienced women whose expertise spans board work, advisory roles, fractional leadership and strategic projects.
Our future marketplace will help organizations connect with that expertise. We are building the community and the relationships that will underpin it first.
If you would like to explore a future partnership or share the leadership expertise your organization needs, get in touch.
The founding team
We built The Lattice while building our own portfolio careers.
Along the way, we heard from Canadian women seeking the same three things: community, impact, and continued income.
So we created a place designed around exactly that.
