Sheri Willoughby is a Senior Manager in the Markets and Enterprise Program at WRI. She holds an MS in chemistry from University of California San Diego and a MBA from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina. Where do MBA students and alumni go to get inspired, informed, and meet others who want to change the world? To Net Impact. The Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University hosted the 14th Annual Net Impact Conference over the weekend. 1200 b-school students and 200 professionals attended the 2-day conference entitled "Navigating Global Change." As an alumnus of the University of North Carolina and a current member of the DC Net Impact Professional Chapter, I attended the conference for professionals, which had its own sessions at the Navy Pier and Fairmont Hotel in Chicago; students had most of their sessions at Kellogg in Evanston. I would have preferred to have the option to go to some of the student panels, especially the "Global Trends" track, but as it turned out, the professional panels were great, and selecting among the five tracks offered to the professionals (technology, corporate social responsibility, philanthropy, environment, social entrepreneurship) was difficult enough.
