Women's Excellence
Women’s Excellence is committed to enabling a future where women confidently embrace and pursue career development; shaping a more equitable and prosperous workplace; and promoting empowerment within our organization and communities.
Elevating Women at every level, everywhere.
As more WE resources and opportunities for networking arise, a culture of excellence within Red Robin is spreading quickly across the country.

The Women’s Excellence platform develops our Leaders with Business skills and Personal soft skills equipping our leaders with everything they need to be highly successful! I absolutely love being part of this process and to be working in conjunction with all this talent! I feel honored to be a part of this team!"
Amanda Alexander-Mangone
Head Learning Coach
"The most significant lesson I took away from W.E. was the power of unity and collaboration among women. The event created a safe and supportive space for the group of women I attended with to open up and share their feelings and experiences. We spent more time discussing how we could work together to lift each other up and support the women on our team, and it was incredible to see how much we all shared similar perspectives and emotions."
