About Women's Business Leaders Association at ASU
Women's Business Leaders Association (WBLA) represents a thriving community of students united by their passion for business and professional growth at Arizona State University's Tempe, AZ campus. Founded on the principle that diverse perspectives strengthen leadership, WBLA brings together students from various academic disciplines and backgrounds to create an inclusive, supportive environment for mutual development.
At its heart, WBLA is built on the belief that meaningful relationships and mentorship are essential to professional success. The organization's signature Mentor-Mentee Program pairs upperclassmen mentors with younger students, fostering intergenerational connections that provide guidance, encouragement, and practical wisdom. This personal approach to development distinguishes WBLA as more than just a professional organization—it's a community of peers invested in each other's success.
The organization's commitment to accessibility is evident in its open-door philosophy. All meetings are free to attend, welcoming students regardless of major, grade level, or background. WBLA creates spaces where students feel genuinely included and valued, whether they're exploring business as a potential career path or already committed to the field.
Beyond formal programming, WBLA cultivates genuine community through multiple engagement channels. Members connect through weekly Wednesday meetings, a vibrant Slack group where they organize social activities like hikes to A Mountain, a weekly newsletter keeping everyone informed, and active social media presence. The organization also maintains a dedicated LinkedIn community for paid members seeking job opportunities. This multi-faceted approach ensures that WBLA members feel supported, connected, and empowered throughout their journey at Arizona State University in Tempe.
