About WILA

A community who uplift and amplify each other

Founded in 2021, Berkeley Haas Women in Leadership Alumnae (WILA) turns the Haas leadership principles into practice by building a community who uplift and amplify each other, at work and beyond.

Our mission is to create space for alumnae to connect, support, and inspire one another in both professional and personal journeys. Grounded in the belief that strength comes from shared experiences, we focus on the whole self, guided by four key pillars.

In her own words

Each quarter we highlight an alumna whose work reflects the WILA pillars in motion.

The four pillars

Haas principles, in practice

Every event, mentor match, and conversation we host comes back to one of these.

01Diversity and Inclusion

Question the Status Quo

We challenge norms and build more equitable paths for women in leadership, across industries, life stages, and geographies.

02Positive Engagement and Well-Being

Confidence Without Attitude

We lead with conviction and humility, making room for others to thrive alongside us.

03Professional Development

Student Always

We keep learning through mentorship, programming, and the generous exchange of hard-earned wisdom.

04Community Support and Impact

Beyond Yourself

We invest in the women coming next, and in the communities our work touches.

Events

Gathering, learning, and showing up for each other.

From global summits to chapter workshops, our calendar is built by alumnae, for alumnae.
