History

CEW was founded in 1954 as a social organization for female executives working in the beauty industry. In 1975, the group expanded, and began focusing on the recognition of the career achievements of women working in the industry. By 1985, CEW established itself as a professional network, offering seminars, speakers, and mentoring to aid its members in career development.[1]

Current organization

CEW's membership is presently around 4,000 and now includes both females and males. Most of CEW's members are high-ranking executives of beauty companies or related businesses.[2] Its current lineup of programming for its members includes career workshops, networking events, online mentoring, a beauty career center, speaker series, news forums and industry newsletters.[3]

Award programs

CEW has become well known for its recognition programs. One, the Achiever award, is presented to individuals who have demonstrated "strong leadership" in the industry.[4] Previous winners of this award include Linda Wells, the editor in chief of Allure magazine; Leslie Blodgett, CEO of mineral cosmetic company Bare Escentuals; Lisa Price, founder of African American hair care company Carol's Daughter; Gina Drosos, Global Head of Beauty at Procter & Gamble; and Alex Keith, an executive with P&G's beauty sector.[5][6] CEW is also known for its Beauty Awards, where cosmetic, fragrance, skin care, hair care and body care products of various categories are judged for quality and innovation by CEW's members. After a selection of finalist products is announced, the final winning products (and companies) are honored at a gala event in New York City. Many influential cosmetic executives, journalists, and celebrities attend this event, and a CEW Beauty Award is widely recognized as the most prestigious honor a company can receive for its products.[7]

Philanthropy

In 2001, the CEW Foundation[8] began a program called "Cancer and Careers," designed to provide support, education, and inspiration to cancer patients and survivors who are beginning or developing careers, as well as supporting newly diagnosed members of the workforce. Cancer and Careers focuses on supporting those affected by cancer in any industry, not strictly the beauty industry. It is supported by donations from CEW members as well as corporate and individual sponsors.[9]

The Executive Committee of the CEW Board of Governors currently comprises Chairwoman Jill Scalamandre of Chrysallis, Inc., President Carlotta Jacobson of CEW, Vice Chairwomen Barbara Kotlikoff of the Steinhardt School at NYU and Heidi Manheimer of Shiseido Cosmetics America, and Treasurer Kelly McPhilliamy of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.[10]

The CEW Foundation is currently headed by Executive Director Kate Sweeney, Chairwoman Gina Drosos of Procter & Gamble, President Carlotta Jacobson of CEW, and Treasurer Sabine Feldmann of Teen Vogue.[11]
