Indiana University Student Organizations
W
omen in Business members are intelligent, ambitious, and highly capable
young women pursuing undergraduate degrees at Indiana University’s
Bloomington campus. Each year, our club seeks to recognize and recruit
talented new members that share our professional values and goals.
What is WIB?
Our organization is comprised of approximately 70-80 members. Each member is a
strong student leader with specific responsibilities to the club. As a Kelley School of
Business organization, WIB has three goals throughout the academic school year:
1. Guide members through business education and the job search.
2. Teach women to fully utilize their unique skills in the business world.
3. Build female confidence and ability.
Why Should I Join?
WIB members share similar goals, values, and visions yet have unique personal
backgrounds and experiences. The club offers exclusive networking opportunities and
resources. Members discover much value and personal satisfaction in the relationships
they form and achievements they make through WIB each semester. New member
motivation tends to vary based on each individual’s stage of education and job search,
however some of the best benefits of joining WIB include:

Gaining a Campus Connection – Joining an organization is one of the best
ways to get to know students with similar personalities, goals, and ambitions.
Many WIB members become close friends and find much academic,


Achieving Personal Growth - Above all, WIB is an organization that seeks
to help members become confident and capable business leaders. To do so,
members must learn to be in touch with their personal and professional values.
Members share business values such as honesty, a strong work ethic,

Getting to Know Women in Business
“Making business connections may not be a top priority in the minds of a majority of college students, but for
members of IU's Women in Business club, networking and gaining practical experience for the corporate world
are major objectives.”
-Indiana Daily Student, September 2004
M
embers of WIB view and operate the organization as a business. Our business is profitable when
members gain a competitive edge within the business school, learn new skills, and network with
peers, faculty, community members, business professionals, and recruiters.
Our Mission
Women in Business empowers its members by providing leadership and
career development opportunities while cultivating professional relationships
and lifelong friendships.
Organizational Structure
Using the organization’s mission statement as a guide, Women in Business
leaders have carefully developed an organizational structure that (1) facilitates
an organization through which members’ needs may be directly addressed
(2) assigns a unique role and multiple responsibilities to each member and (3)
allows the organization to impact the campus and Bloomington community.
There are three types of membership roles in the Women in Business
organizational structure. Executive and director roles are filled by members
that lead committees or manage the strategic vision of the club. Associate roles are filled by members that plan
and produce new initiatives and organizational events.
Executive Leadership Roles
Executive roles require significant levels of time commitment, leadership skills, and organizational vision. You
may see from the following chart that there are three levels of executive leadership. The President leads the
organization and concentrates on strategic vision and relationship building. Vice Presidents report to the
President and manage a functional branch of WIB. WIB has five branches: Communications, Finance,
Membership, Networking, and Outreach. Together, these individuals ensure that the club runs efficiently and
continues to produce new ideas, events, and procedures.

Director Leadership Roles
Each branch of WIB is made up of committees that are led by Directors that report to a Vice President. Each
director will lead a team of highly motivated, committed and professional individuals. Directors will lead their
committees on unique projects and responsibilities to further the success of the club and personal and
professional growth of its members.
Associate Leadership Roles
Each director will lead a team of highly motivated, committed and professional individuals. These teams or
committees will consist of Associate Members. Associate Members may expect less of a time commitment
than Executive Members, but will be expected to fully participate and contribute to the organization. Each
Associate Member will have unique responsibilities within their committee. Committee sizes may range from
2-5 people.

Purpose & Benefits
WIB’s organizational structure has been designed to provide exclusive benefits to its members. By creating
a hierarchy of leadership, the organization is able to produce larger events and begin new initiatives each
year. WIB is also able to more confidently advertise the group to corporate recruiters. Members can
expect to gain significant leadership experience throughout their time in WIB.
The interview process ensures that new members are professional, dependable, and passionate about WIB.
The process also ensures that current members remain highly qualified and motivated.
General Membership Expectations
Members of Women in Business are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:

Mandatory attendance at the following events:
o
All mass meetings every other Tuesday
o
Professional Development events
o
Conference
 Excused absences include school exams, funerals, weddings, family emergencies, the I-CORE case,
I-CORE exam weeks, an interview with a company for an internship or job, and any illness where
the member is contagious or vomiting. Excuses must be submitted by email to the Internal
Relations Director in order to avoid penalization. Each member is allowed two unexcused
absences per semester from mandatory events. These absences may not be carried over to the
next semester. After two unexcused absences during a semester, the member will be sent a warning
email from the administrative committee stating that the member cannot have any more unexcused
absences that semester. After three unexcused absences, the member will be required to have a
meeting with the President, VP of her branch, and a Human Resources committee representative.
Each case will be considered separately and based on individual circumstances.
 Academic Excellence – WIB members will be expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. In the
event that a member’s GPA should fall below a 3.0, she will be required to have a meeting with the
President and VP of her branch. She will be placed in a position of lesser responsibility and given
one semester to increase her GPA. Failure to do so may result in termination. Final determinations
will be made on an individual basis.
 Professional Atmosphere – Events involving professional speakers or recruiters will require
business casual attire and a professional attitude.
 Commitment – All members are expected to demonstrate commitment to the organization and
their assigned role. Members should fully participate in events and dedicate time each week to
fulfilling WIB responsibilities.

WIB goals. To accomplish our organization’s objectives, it is important that
