Initiatives
Stanford Women in Business is made up of six core teams that work together to promote our mission. SWIB is led by co-presidents who oversee the organization and each of its teams as they relate to empowering young women in pre-professional careers. Specifically, they focus on the execution of events, weekly meetings, intern programming, and external relations.
Young Women’s Leadership Summit
The Young Women's Leadership Summit (previously known as winter conference) is an annual event that brings together young women from Californian high schools for a day of workshops and speeches from inspiring speakers. The event aims to prepare and educate young women about the world of business while having the chance to experience Stanford. Learn more→
Executive Leadership Series

This new event was conceived with the aim of giving Stanford students an avenue to learn more about business through the experiences of others. Learn more→
