The Dallas Regional Chamber’s Executive Women’s Roundtable (EWR) got an insider look at the soon-to-be-unveiled David B. Miller Quadrangle at Southern Methodist University (SMU) Tuesday, March 19.
EWR provides a unique opportunity for professional businesswomen and business owners to expand their networks, exchange ideas, and advance their careers. Through exclusive events and gatherings, participants gain access to high-profile projects, organizations, and leaders throughout the Dallas Region, learning invaluable insights about key business and economic developments. Furthermore, the collaborative environment created by members fosters mentorship, support, and personal growth.
EWR members in attendance included representatives from the DRC, AT&T, Boeing, Morgan Stanley, the Dallas Morning News, Hillwood, and more.
Dean Matthew B. Myers, Managing Director of Corporate Relations & Strategic Partnerships Lisa Tran, and Executive Director of Marketing Lacey Jeffrey from the SMU Cox School of Business were part of the tour as well.
U.S. News ranked the SMU Cox School of Business as the 33rd best business school in the country in their 2023-2024 Best Business Schools rankings. With an alumni network exceeding 65,000 members in the Dallas Region, the university plays a vital role in driving economic development and supplying skilled talent to the area. EWR attendees had the opportunity to explore the newly remodeled and expanded facilities, immersing themselves in the cutting-edge facilities and learning spaces that will produce many of the leaders of tomorrow.
Attendees particularly lauded the focus on natural lighting throughout the facilities, where 90% of office spaces boast windows, and the comprehensive technology upgrades that promise to keep classrooms and meeting rooms at the forefront of innovation.
Additionally, design was a major draw to the group, specifically the remodeling’s emphasis on accessibility while still staying true to the buildings’ architectural legacy.
With a focus on empowering women and driving positive change in the business community, EWR is an essential resource for ambitious women looking to excel in their careers and make a meaningful impact in their organizations and beyond. Members represent a diverse array of industries and professional roles and are active in the Dallas Region.
