H@H: Ep 38 – Blair Evans joins host, Paulina Lee on this week’s episode of Here@Haas. Blair, a CPA who has made her career in real estate, is the president of Women in Leadership (WIL) at Haas. A Californian through and through, Blair knows the importance of a supportive community and is passionate about cultivating this community to empower and elevate women at Haas. 

On the mission and function of WIL: “[WIL] is really anyone in the Haas network who strives for a more gender equitable business world.” Where Haasies “Come together to not only share our stories and maybe normalize some of our experiences, but also empower each other with the tools and resources to achieve success.”

Making a pitch to prospective new Haas students “Everyone here is flawsome. And by that, I mean, they embrace their flaws and they know they're awesome because of that.” And to potential new members of WIL: “Please reach out to us. Even if you think you don't have enough time, because nobody has enough time. I think that you should make time for us.”
