Society guidelines

How we treat each other

Fifty women, some still inside companies, some halfway out, some long gone. This only works if everyone feels safe being honest. Here is how we keep it that way.

Last updated September 30, 2026

What is said in the room stays in the room

  • Do not share what someone else posts or says, including screenshots, outside the Society.
  • Do not name another member, their employer, or their plans outside the Society without their okay. Some women here have not told their boss, and some have not told anyone.
  • No recording or photos of sessions or events unless we say it is okay, and never of someone who has not agreed.

Be generous

  • Answer the question you would have wanted answered two years ago.
  • Share what actually worked and what did not. The honest version helps more than the polished one.
  • Make the intro. Send the job. That is the whole point.

Be kind to people

Disagree with ideas all you want. Be kind to the person. No put-downs, no pile-ons, and no judging someone for staying, leaving, or going back.

No selling without an invite

The Society is not a lead list. Do not cold pitch members in the community or their DMs. If someone asks for what you offer, great. Share it. Partner deals and offers go through us first.

Keep it safe

No harassment, discrimination, or hate of any kind. No sharing anyone's private information. If something feels off, tell us. You do not have to handle it yourself.

If something goes wrong

Message Nikki or Aparna directly, or email [email protected]. We will look at every report, keep it as private as we can, and take care of it. For small stuff, we will talk to you. For serious or repeated stuff, we may remove someone from the Society.

One more thing

We wrote these because we want this room to be the one you have been looking for. Thanks for helping us keep it that way.
