UBWA President, Jillian Kemper
Hey everyone! My name is Jillian Kemper, and I am so thrilled to serve as the UBWA President this year. I am a junior studying Operations Management, and I am originally from Groveport, Ohio. UBWA has completely transformed the way that I look at myself as a leader, given me so many opportunities to develop myself, and empowered in ways I never thought possible. This organization has not just provided me with self-development but with such a strong community that I value so highly. My aim this coming year is to continue that development and community for all students that want to be a part of the movement. I am so excited to work on a dynamic and ambitious team of 10 other incredible women this year. I look forward to continuing the energy in this organization and seeing what UBWA accomplishes this year! |

Senior Vice President, Madison Shimborske
Hello! My name is Madison Shimborske and I will be graduating in May 2021 with a degree in Information Systems and a minor in Studio Art. I am very excited to serve as the Senior Vice President on the executive board this year, leading weekly General Body meetings, working with our small business and non-profit partners, and supporting the work of the executive board. This will be my second year on the executive board and it has been so rewarding to give back to an organization that has given so much to me. As the VP of Corporate Relations last year, I was able to learn a lot of valuable skills that will help me in giving my all to the SVP role. UBWA has been a very meaningful part of my college experience these past few years and I am extremely passionate about giving others the experience I had. UBWA has convinced me that I belong in business and I can't wait to help provide other members with the confidence and empowerment I was given. When I'm not in UBWA or class, I love reading, going to concerts, taking pictures, and being outside. I'm excited to see what this year holds and I'm honored to be able to serve as your Senior Vice President. |
