Co-President's Letter
Dear WiB Community,
Welcome to the first edition of 'Beyond the Boardroom', our monthly e-newsletter featuring club updates, opportunities in and around the school and more!
As we begin our term as Co-Presidents, we're thrilled to step into these new roles with fresh energy and big ambitions. While we may be new to leading WiB, we are not new to WiB itself. This club has shaped us as students, leaders, and friends. We've seen firsthand the impact WiB has on its members, and now, we're excited to continue building on that legacy.
This year, our team has worked to revamp and upgrade WiB-bringing in new ideas, reimagining events, and strengthening our operations while staying true to WiB's roots in empowering women and creating a supportive, inspiring community.
With a talented and passionate executive team of 23 students, each bringing their own strengths in events, marketing, operations, finance, and sponsorship, we're confident that this year will be one of growth, connection, and impact.
But WiB is more than just events and programming - it's a movement. It's about showing up for each other, celebrating women's accomplishments, and creating space where every member feels they belong.
This year, we invite you to get involved, take advantage of the opportunities we're creating, and be part of the momentum. Whether you're attending our Career Readiness Roundtable, joining our Female Founders Forum, or connecting with us at a social, know that you're part of something bigger; a community that thrives because of its members.
We can't wait to see what we'll achieve together. Let's make this year one to remember.
Emma & Elizabeth
