Women in Leadership

Female leadership is a central component of AFM's experience,
culture, and success. We believe that women possess
invaluable natural talents — female leadership development
has the potential to benefit not only the female leaders within
the company but the entire organization. Our brand has
achieved a lot thanks to the innovative women who comprise
more than 50% of our staff.

In 2019, AFM launched the Female Leadership Initiative (FLI).
The initiative has two goals: to support the development and
future success of all female AFM employees and to empower
them to embrace their traditional feminine strengths and thrive
within our company. To facilitate female professional
development, FLI offers:

"She Runs It" Memberships
