Sponsorship Initiative

The UCWBG is an organization dedicated to leading, connecting, and supporting Chicago GSB women.

Key Sponsorship Initiative Goals

The UCWBG's Sponsorship Initiative was introduced with several goals in mind, including providing the ability to:

  • Increase financial support for UCWBG events and operations. (e.g., provide funding to assist invitation costs, mailing costs, management company fees, etc.)
  • Expand services to the UCWBG membership including: greater diversity in speakers, additional opportunities for meeting locations, enhanced administrative services for the UCWBG Board of Directors, and improved opportunities for continuing education through UCWBG programs.
  • Support current students at The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and/or attendees of the Executive Education Department's Women's Leadership Forum, an annual program that was developed with support from the UCWBG.
