Since day one, Rung has been about growth—evolving our programs, enriching our community, and always finding new ways to lift women higher. That spirit is what inspired us to reimagine our giving society, and today, we’re thrilled to reintroduce it with new life, new energy, and a new name.
Welcome to Ladder League.
Formerly Women’s Leadership Society, Ladder League reflects exactly what this community is all about: inspiring all women to lead, give, and grow—together.
Many of you shared that you wanted to feel more connected, more engaged, and more a part of Rung’s mission. We heard you. And we couldn’t be more excited to bring that vision to life with refreshed purpose and dynamic, relationship-building events throughout 2026.
