Ellen Griggs, board director at E. Ritter & Company, sits on the Corporate Board Committee of The Boston Club, one of the largest organizations for women executives in the northeast. Ellen Griggs continues to contribute to this important group, which has over 40 years of history and countless success stories from women in dozens of top leadership positions.

As both a club and a cause, The Boston Club started in 1976 by a small group of women who wanted to see additional leadership opportunities at Fortune 500 companies and more. Those who are a part of the club hold various accomplishments in their respective fields and give back to their communities, while supporting their fellow women in their career pursuits. Members are offered a wide range of problem solving aid, including the chance to speak with other more senior members for advice and counsel.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for many businesses, and the Club also promotes leadership programs and workshops for women navigating today’s complex workplace cultures. Aside from various meetings and programs to help leaders grow, there are many social events and networking opportunities to attend, from lunches to golf trips. The Boston Club continues to be an advocate and a resource for women in leadership positions.
