WAIB is a women's networking group within the Academy of International
Business. Its mission is to:
* Encourage networking among women faculty, administrators and PhD
students in international business studies by holding a WAIB reception and
business meeting at the AIB annual meetings, publishing a newsletter, and
hosting an electronic list serve discussion group.
* Offer one-on-one mentoring, linking female junior faculty and
doctoral students with senior women faculty and administrators, as a way to
increase the number of women who specialize in international business
studies education, research and administration.
* Encourage research on gender-related issues in international
business.
The current executive members of WAIB are Lyn Amine (President), Lorraine
Eden (Founder and Past-President), Susan Trussler (Vice President), Hildy
Teegen (Secretary-Treasurer), Susan Gupta (member-at-large) and Rebekah
LeFlore (Webmaster). Marjorie Lyles (Indiana), AIB Vice President
Administration, is our link to the AIB Executive Board. The WAIB Home Page
(http://cibs.tamu.edu/waib <http://cibs.tamu.edu/waib> ) is hosted by the
Texas A&M University CIBER (http://cibs.tamu.edu <http://cibs.tamu.edu> ) .
Until April 2004, WAIB-L was hosted by Communications for a Sustainable
Future at the University of Colorado. That list serve is now officially
closed after the retirement of Dan Roper, the founder of CSF; for more
information see http://csf.colorado.edu/csf-was-founded.html
<http://csf.colorado.edu/csf-was-founded.html> . We thank CSF for hosting
WAIB-L for the past two years.
WAIB-L will now be hosted by the Michigan State University CIBER
(http://aib.msu.edu <http://aib.msu.edu> ), headquarters for the Academy of
International Business. We look forward to working with MSU and are grateful
to the MSU CIBER for providing this service to WAIB.
