For Influential Businesswomen of Faith. Everywhere.

Our Why

to CHANGE the world TOGETHER — in our group, communities, and beyond.

Areté was established in 2011 by executive coach and consultant Dianne Ogle after hearing the hearts, needs and empowerment goals of influential, high-level women executives and CEOs with Christian values.

Today, Areté has grown into a unified community of some of the nation’s top female business leaders of faith. When you join us, you’ll connect with high-achieving, C-level executives, board of director members, and high-level business owners across various ministries, for profit, nonprofit, academic and public service sectors who share Christian values.

Maximize your potential with your own advisory board, Arete’ members share common Christian values, core business values, and diverse life experiences.

You can trust in our authenticity and acumen to help solve business and everyday life challenges, explore new ideas, gain support and feedback, and enjoy the freedom to blend our work with our faith.
