Dean College Woman In Business Conference Event
The inaugural Dean College Women in Business Conference was hosted on campus on Friday, March 22. The event was planned and organized by the Women in Business Club and the students in the MKTG 390 Event Planning course. The conference was well attended, with over 200 guests. Attendees included students, alums, local business owners, and Dean College community members. The featured speakers were Dominica Riberio '99, Chief Marketing and Distribution Officer at Breckinridge Capital; Maggie Keohan, Managing Director and Region Head at Goldman Sachs; and Kathleen Ralls, PhD, Author and Empowerment Leader. All the speakers shared inspirational and empowering stories, encouraging attendees to find their voice and define their journey. In addition to the featured keynote speakers, there were performances from MyBlackSpeaks, the Dean Vocal Ensemble, and Poet Mica Rich '21. There were also numerous connection activities and networking opportunities throughout the morning.
The mission of the Women in Business Club is to inspire and empower women to connect, become involved in their community, and prepare for a future business career. They are making significant contributions to the workforce and economy, and it's great to see events that unite and empower women from diverse backgrounds.
Students interested in planning the 2025 Women in Business Conference should consider joining the Women in Business Club, or they can register for MKTG 390 Event Planning in the Spring 2025 semester.
It's exciting to see events like this that celebrate and elevate the talents and achievements of women in the business world.
