MBW Student Profile
Kristin Sliemers, MBA
2011
Kristin was the 2010-2011
President of the MBA Michigan Business Women (MBW) at the Stephen M. Ross
School of Business. Below are her thoughts on her experience as
president.
"Being President of a large student organization like MBW
has been a great example of action-based learning for me. I have
learned so much about keeping a group organized and running smoothly while
also setting a vision for the year. It was important to me that MBW
remain a strong contributor to the culture of women at Ross. With that
in mind, each event had to be meticulously planned and value added to our
members.
"Additionally, I learned a lot about leading others. A
large portion of my role was keeping a peer-run board engaged and motivated
and still give each member a chance to bring her own voice and ideas to her
board position. It was thrilling to watch board members take
initiative and exceed expectations for events and initiatives!
"After
leaving Ross, I know that I will take the skills that I have built with me.
From MBW, I have learned so much about networking, building relationships,
and team building. One of my favorite lessons is not being afraid of
asking for what you want. I have found you often get it!" |
