2015 Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable
Held in the Asa Packer dining room, this was the inaugural Women in Business Conference. Maria Chrin, Lehigh alum and founder of Circle of Wealth Management, was the Keynote. She discussed the professional and personal issues facing women in business today.
Following Chrin’s address, the group of attendees broke into panel sessions. These included: Be Your Own Best Career Advocate, moderated by Georgette Chapman Phillips, the dean of the College of Business and Economics, and Risk and Return, which was facilitated by Regina Lewsis, ’91, a USA Today and MSNBC commentator.
Student registration for the conference sold out within two hours of opening and approximately 150 students, faculty and staff were in attendance at the event.
