THE DATE: Wednesday June 15 Career Services Spring Career Expo EXTERNAL EVENTS: WITI
Presents Panelists: France Lampron, Founder & Pres. of Nuvosoft; Jennifer Francis, Sr. VP/Partner of CB Richard Ellis; Jane Eggers, General Manager of Intuit’s Innovation Lab. Admission: $25 for members; $45 for non-members One of the puzzling trends in women’s leadership is the small percentage who careers with operational responsibility. Women typically embark on careers in marketing and Human Resources, thereby getting stuck in “pink ghettos.” In many industries and companies, operational experience is critical to building a strong leadership portfolio and achieving career advancement and success. This program explores different corporate environments, critical values that women bring to business, and the importance of P&L experience to women’s leadership development. The panel of experts will provide candid advice on how successful business unit management can provide tremendous career satisfaction and help you climb the corporate ladder. For more information about the event, visit WITI’s website at www.witi.com/boston.

SOM cited as a "model program" for working mothers! On April 13th, Mary Shapiro, SOM Adjunct Assistant Professor, gave a talk entitled "Career Dilemmas and Gender Differences" at Hewlett Packard's Littleton, MA location. On April 8th, Dr. Deborah Kolb, SOM Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor of Women and Leadership and CGO Faculty Affiliate, gave a presentation entitled "Her Place at the Table: A Woman's Guide to Negotiating Five Challenges of Leadership," based on her recent book of the same title, to approximately 60 members of the Association for Corporate Growth in Waltham, MA. The Simmons School of Management was a source of information on the challenges facing women executives as HP CEO Carly Fiorina announced her resignation. Acting Dean Deborah Merrill-Sands contributed comments to the February 10th editions of both Newsday and Boston Herald, stating that what happened to Fiorina happens to many CEOs in the field, but the visibility of women CEOs and their work is heightened because there are so few in their ranks. SOM Professor Stacy Blake-Beard was quoted in the January issue of Workforce Management in the article “Lessons from the Donald.” Blake-Beard says The Apprentice’s message is to look out for yourself above all else, and that, in reality, organizations promote the star. Mary Finlay SOM ’90, deputy chief information officer at Partners HealthCare System, received one of 10 New England Business and Technology Association awards. The NEBATA awards program recognizes New England business and technology leaders who have made a significant impact in developing or deploying technologies that address critical business issues while contributing to the region’s prosperity. Ann Fudge, Chairman & CEO of Young and Rubicam Brands and former SOM Executive in Residence, was featured in the February issue of Black Enterprise magazine as one of the 75 most powerful African Americans in Corporate America.
