WAIB Call for Donation and Institutional Sponsorship
Dear Members and Supporters of WAIB (Women in the Academy of International Business),
We extend a warm invitation to you to contribute to WAIB's vital initiatives, allowing us to uphold our mission in the forthcoming year. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and
generosity through the following streams:
The Helping Hands Fund empowers deserving lower-income female faculty and doctoral students by providing competitive scholarships to defray the expenses associated with attending the annual
AIB conference. In 2024, this is scheduled to take place in Seoul, South Korea.
Recipients of WAIB's Helping Hands scholarships not only gain access to distinguished scholars and the chance to network with our dedicated members but also actively contribute their time
by assisting at our events and conference booth.
Our General Support Fund plays a pivotal role in facilitating WAIB's networking and recognition events at the AIB's annual conference.
If you are affiliated with an institution, a center, or a foundation that may be interested in sponsoring an event/initiative, please indicate which fund and list your institution’s name
on the Online Contribution Form. We would be happy to discuss more if you reach out:

tracks, and sessions at each AIB conference. Every year, we acknowledge outstanding achievements in scholarship, service, and leadership through our Emerging Scholar Award and Woman of the Year Award. In alignment with our mission to advance gender-related
research in International Business, WAIB presents the Best Paper Award, recognizing groundbreaking research.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all WAIB friends, donors, and sponsors, whether individuals or institutions. Your donation is tax-deductible in the United States.
Sincerely,
Rimi Zakaria – on behalf of your WAIB Leadership Team 2023-2025
