Overview

The National Association of Women MBAs (NAWMBA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering female business professionals, to assisting women into leadership positions in business, and to enhancing the diversity of the workforce worldwide. We serve four related client groups: female MBA students, female business professionals and MBA-level entrepreneurs, universities and corporate partners. Our MISSION is to be a resource for the advancement of women in business through collaboration, leadership development, education and networking. In order to accomplish our mission, NAWMBA focuses our programs in four key areas: 1. EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT NAWMBA works to educate students on the career opportunities available and the skills that are necessary to succeed by supporting chapter programs as well as events at the national and international level, including an annual leadership conference. The organization also encourages women to attend and successfully complete graduate business school programs by supporting the formation of school-hosted chapters. 2. MENTORSHIP The Shideezhí Program is built on the premise that every successful woman has had mentors and supporters who have helped her get to where she is today. 3. NETWORKING NAWMBA provides networking opportunities for students and professionals with schools, organizations and companies that are committed to the development of women's roles in business. 4. COLLABORATION NAWMBA facilitates increased communication and collaboration among graduate business school programs, employers and peer organizations regarding their initiatives to educate and encourage women in business.
