Executive Assistant Positions
During the 2020 school year, the 2020-21 executive board formally and officially introduced Women in Business Assistant positions! With an increasing amount of dues-paying members and a growing interest for opportunities to stay involved, the executive board created “Executive Assistant” roles within the organization to further assist the Top Four executive members (Presidents and VPs).
The Assistant Program application for the 2024-2025 school year has officially closed! The Executive Board will announce the opportunity to join our next Assistant Program by accepting four new assistants for the Fall 2025 semester. The application process will involve a comprehensive review and interviews with candidates.
What does the position entail?
The Presidents, VP of Operations, VP of Finance, and VP of Marketing accept assistant applications from members who are interested in opportunities to get more involved with Women in Business beyond being an active member.
The top five board members look for driven, motivated, and organized individuals to assist them in the day-to-day operations of their roles. Assistants are expected to help one of the four members, gaining insight and knowledge on how Women in Business is run behind-the-scenes.
The time commitment varies per week, but the estimated time to commit per week would be around 1-3 hours, dependent on tasks, goals, deadlines, and your availability.
What’s the difference between Assistants and Interns?
Assistants:
Assistants help a specific top four executive board member complete their daily tasks.
Interns:
Interns are guided and shadow within their entire team board throughout the spring.
