Wharton Women in
London Fight the
Glass Ceiling
Wharton women graduates are building
an informal network amongst the
alumni community in London. The
group was started in 2004 by alumnae
Tina Winfield Achkar, WG'91, Sharla
Kaussari-Dick, WG'70, Joy Seppala,
WG'89, who wanted to reconnect with
the Wharton community, and is part of
the Wharton Alumni efforts in the UK.
Alumnae host events in their homes
or offices to facilitate the logistics of
meeting up with one another and other
members from the Wharton community.
Tina Winfield Achkar hosts informal
dinners in her home on a regular
basis. Most recently, Monty Harris from
Wharton Alumni Affairs joined the
Wharton Women in London to update
them on what is happening with alumni
affairs around the world.
Other notable events included:
- Discussion on "Breaking Through
the Glass Ceiling" hosted by Ellen
Brunsberg, WG'91, at Morgan
Stanley. Guest speakers included
Marisa Drew, WG'92, and Diane
McGrath, WG'91.
- Garden party at the Sloane Square
home of Dana Nason, WG'94,
G'94.
- Buffet dinner at INSEAD grad
Jane Stingfellow's home for
Wharton and INSEAD alumnae.
- Breakfast sessions at the SISU
Capital office of Joy Seppala.
Events are published on line at
www.whartonclubuk.net and are
open to women living in or passing
through London. If you are interested
in becoming more involved in the
Wharton Women's Network or will be
passing through London and would
like to find out about upcoming events,
please contact Tina Winfield Achkar at
t.achkar@btopenworld.com.
We look forward to re-connecting
with you!
—Tina Winfield Achkar, WG'91
