Announcing 2013 Conference Directors

Thank you Julie and Clara!

We are honored and unbelievably excited to be taking charge of the 2013 Sloan Women in Management conference. Before we start working on the conference for 2013, we want to thank our 2012 Co-Directors, Julie Lein and Clara Brenner, for their incredible vision and execution of the conference this year.

Julie and Clara: you did an incredibly job; your hard work is greatly appreciated and your leadership and ongoing enthusiasm for SWIM will be truly missed. Thank you!

The 2012 conference was transformative in many ways, from the record-breaking attendance to the insightful conversations that it triggered. We look forward to building on the momentum of the conference and bringing a new voice to the discussions that women have with each other.

Thanks to the SWIM Conference organizer team for your hard work this past year!
