Joining Our Organization
Membership to Women in Business is capped at approximately 120 active members, which leads us to require an application and interview process to obtain membership. Each semester, a written application is sent out to prospective members, and if selected, a number of women are invited to participate in 1-2 rounds of meet-and-greet style interviews with the leadership team. Once membership is obtained, members must meet point requirements to remain in active member status with the organization and maintain eligibility to participate in events.

Recruitment process
Prior to applications, WIB leadership participates in unconscious bias training focusing on creating an equitable recruitment process
Step 1: Applicants Submit Written Application
Blind application reviewed/evaluated by two executive members independently
* Right before interviews, the DEI team refreshes the main takeaways from leadership unconscious bias training and emphasizes additional points to interviewers *
Step 2: (Callback) Interview
Two 10-minute interviews with WIB exec and/or directors
Evaluations made independently right after each interview
Interviews with people of varying experience levels (ex: not two seniors or two freshmen) and not being interviewed by friends
After interviews: Final evaluations
Later that night or the next day, decisions are sent out by email
