About Fe league

Fe is the symbol for iron–is indicative of strength, abundance, and humanity.

Fe league is a community of leaders across industries invested in supporting women. What began as a passion project for livingHR has spun off into its own national organization still championed by the livingHR team. Our purpose is to enact change and foster growth for women. We do this by creating space for meaningful conversations, swapping ideas, and furthering authentic learning through a foundation of diversity across industry, experience, and thought.
