Straight talk from five Broad MBAs at the 3rd annual Women in Business Conference clearly supports a woman’s decision to pursue a Broad MBA. Alumnae panelists on the program, Janine Woldt, Marie Huelga, Dana Pososki (all graduates of the ‘01 MBA class), and Lisa Anderson (MBA ’99) discussed balancing act of work, study and family – and the rewards of an MBA degree. Alumna and Broad Alumni Association board member, Mary Vallender (MBA ’82), offered the evening keynote address.
