Yamile Bruzza, President's Message

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all our new and returning members! We're thrilled to connect with each of you and foster our community of strong female leaders.

Together, we are breaking barriers, shattering glass ceilings, and leaving an indelible mark on the business world. Our focus this year is cultivating our community and creating an environment where ideas flourish, connections deepen, and dreams become reality. It's through the collective strength of our diverse perspectives, experiences, and ambitions that we unlock boundless potential within ourselves.

GWiB is more than a club; it's a powerful support system, a catalyst for growth, and a launchpad for your wildest dreams. Our community thrives on the brilliance, tenacity, and diversity of each member and it's my hope that we will continue fostering an inclusive community that amplifies all voices and celebrates our achievements. I have no doubt that our collective energy will ignite a spark that lights up boardrooms and breaks down barriers.

I also would like to express my deepest gratitude to our exceptional executive team, whose dedication, hard work, and unwavering support truly embody the spirit of this club.

It goes without saying that we have no shortage of challenges as female leaders. As we navigate the challenges and triumphs ahead, let's remember we're not alone. Together, we empower, uplift, and inspire one another, creating a legacy that resonates far beyond USC's walls.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women." Let us stand tall, united in our quest for greatness.

Wishing you a year filled with purpose, growth, and unbridled success.

Once more, welcome. We are thrilled to have you.

Yamile Bruzza, 2023-2024 GWiB President
