2012 Conference a Huge Success!


The Women in Business (WIB) Annual Conference was held on February 18th on the graduate side of the Kelley School of Business. The theme of this year’s Conference was Carpe Diem and all of the speakers throughout the day encouraged the conference attendees to seize the day not only in terms of their profession but also in terms of life in general. Several great speakers presented during the 2012 Conference including Ron Hoven of Eli Lilly & Co.,
Joy Falotico of Ford North America,
Kelley Professor Tatiana Kolovou, and
Susan Pickett of Macy’s Inc. The speakers gave professional advice to the WIB members and shared their personal experiences with the women. The Conference also included a mini career fair with companies including Target, Ernst & Young, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Discover, and many more. WIB members were able to interact one on one with the recruiters and work on their networking skills. After the career fair, the recruiters gave the group feedback on what they did well as a group and what they can improve upon. The Women in Business benefited tremendously from this year’s Conference and they gained much insight on how to seize the day and take advantage of all of their opportunities and talents. A special thanks goes out to the sponsors and the Conference Planning Committee for making the day such a success!
