Wharton Women Business Conference

January 19, 2007

Dear Student leaders:



On behalf of Wharton Women, we take great pleasure in inviting you to our
sixth annual Wharton Women Business Conference, /Define Your Own
Success/, sponsored by Ernst & Young. The event will be on Friday,
February 9, 2007 between 10:00AM and 4:30PM at Jon M. Huntsman Hall at
the University of Pennsylvania. The conference date coincides with
on-campus recruiting, and your members will gain invaluable advice and
connections from the business leaders present at this conference.



The conference theme, /Define Your Own Success /, seeks to show
participants how to discover and act upon one's passions and
aspirations, rather than depending on external factors. We hope to
inspire participants by making them more attuned to their passions and
goals and to give them actionable steps to achieve personal and
professional success.



The Wharton Women Business Conference is Wharton Women's largest event of
the spring semester. It presents our members with a day-long
experience aiming to stimulate and empower their interests in business
through effective keynote speakers, interactive panels, and multiple
opportunities to network.
