Now in its sixth year, Women Leading Women is an annual event designed to showcase, celebrate and empower our fearless female alumnae and other women in business. Hosted by the Smith School’s Office of Diversity Initiatives, the moderated one-on-one discussion encourages open dialogue among women in business from the classroom to the C-suite.

This year’s honoree is financial planner and industry leader Marguerita (Rita) Cheng. Cheng, a 1993 Smith School alumna, is founder and CEO of Blue Ocean Global Wealth in Rockville, Md. She launched her business in 2013 to help families better manage their resources and plan for the future. Her objective? To help her clients reach their life goals.

Women Leading Women is part of an important conversation about closing the gender enrollment gap at business schools and getting more women into the C-suite. The event inspires and challenges attendees to realize and reach their full potential.

“Women Leading Women celebrates the sisterhood of Smith and empowers women to pursue senior leadership roles,” said Sharon Strange Lewis, EMBA ‘05, the Smith School’s senior director of Women and Diversity Programs. “We’re also giving our community a chance to learn from great role models in business.”

The event is complimentary and open to women in the Smith community and beyond. The forum will cap a lineup of month-long activities in celebration of Women’s History Month at Smith.

Join the conversation online at #WLW2017 and #SWM2017.
