Get Involved

All women at HBS are encouraged to be active in the WSA.

Why to get involved:

Help promote HBS as the business school for women
Meet, socialize, and network with dynamic women
Develop a mentoring relationship with an alumnae, second year, or conference speaker
Figure out which firms are actively recruiting women
Participate in great activities, including the conference, panels, and social outings

WSA Representative: each HBS section has an elected WSA Representative who works with the section’s women to plan events within and across sections, support women’s needs plus to inform men and women of all WSA-related events
Panel Chair and other volunteer roles, WSA Conference: the annual WSA Conference is a great way for members to get involved by planning speaker panels, assisting with logistics, and supporting marketing efforts
Serve on the executive board: many WSA executive board members have subcommittees with various levels of involvement available. For example, Academics has faculty lunch coordinators and Professional Development has corporate sponsor liaisons
Connect with undergraduate women: HBS women work with the Harvard University Undergraduate Women in Business organization through mentoring, supporting initiatives and assisting their ongoing professional development programs

Sponsorship and WSA Conference: contact Kate Thomas for details on sponsorship opportunities and Sarah Zalewski for ideas about participating in the Dynamic Women in Business Conference, January 24, 2009
Speakers: speakers interested in sharing their business experience with club members are always welcome
