WIL's mission is to serve the entire Haas community through a series of professional, educational, and social events designed to enhance the understanding and appreciation of women's roles in business while equipping WIL members to achieve success. Beyond hosting the annual WIL conference, WIL offers regular social events and an annual retreat. The women at Hass appreciate and contribute to its collaborative culture and entrepreneurial spirit. Female student comprise an integral part of our leadership program. Women founded two of the preeminent business plan competitions among business schools – the Berkeley Business Plan Competition, one of the preeminent business plan competitions in the country and the Global Social Venture Competition, the largest social venture competition in the world that combines profitable bottom line or self sufficiency with a social or environmental mission. Additionally, many of the clubs at Haas are run by female presidents and officers.
