In a Blog, Rainwater commented "today we have thousands of members all over the globe, and I can truly say that our mission of supporting women in their careers is not only here to stay but we have demonstrated that we do just that.

"We accelerate careers, there are so many of you members that have written books, been on podcasts, launched the business, gotten the promotion. You have accelerated your career ways faster than you ever thought you could because somebody said, 'hey, just apply'.”
