Dear Professor Newell,

Women make up almost 52% of all professional jobs in the United States, yet
only 14.6% of executive officers, 8.1% of top earners, and 4.6% of Fortune
500 CEOs. Business Today's Women in Business Conference aims to address
this issue.

Founded by Steve Forbes in 1968, *Business Today *is a non-profit
organization based at Princeton University with the goal of bridging the
communication gap between leading business leaders and top undergraduate
students interested in business.

The* inaugural Women in Business Conference* will provide female students
from various backgrounds with the opportunity to develop an understanding
of what challenges women face in the business world and how to overcome
them. This year, attendees will have the chance to meet top business
executives at companies such as Coca Cola, Walmart, Fidelity, and NBC
Sports. Highlights include *Anna Sedgley, CFO of Down Jones,* and* Barbara
Byrne, Vice Chairman of Investment Banking at Barclays.* Last year, at our
flagship international conference, *Wendy Kopp, Andrea Jung, Mark Thompson,
and Jeff Immelt* all shared their perspectives on the business world in
keynote addresses.

This *cost-free conference* will focus on* mentorship*, where groups of
students will be paired with an executive. Attendees will also be invited
back in subsequent years in order to foster sustainable relationships
between students and executives. Freshmen are encouraged to apply!

The inaugural conference will be held in New York City at the Princeton
Club of New York on *November 14**th*. Business Today will provide
transportation and cover all expenses.
