Please complete this form for any student leader consideration for the 2020 ROMBA Conference in Atlanta (must be MBA1 or part-time graduating 2020 or later). The 2020 ROMBA Conference will be October 8-10 in Los Angeles.
Since our founding in 1999, teams of LGBTQ MBA & graduate students have been selected to create our conference’s content and be part of an ever-growing legacy of innovation, leadership and education in the LGBTQ community.
Each ROMBA Conference Organizing Team is kept to no more than 10 students, each of whom oversees an area of the conference content's planning .
Commitment-wise, the ROMBA Conference Leaders are generally engaged for 9 months, with late March and August through October being the busier times. As conference leaders, you will be managing the content and flow of a major national conference. Different roles have slightly different timelines and commitments (e.g. overseeing tracks with competitions might be a bit of a later activity compared to building out an entrepreneur track's core content). However, time expectations can easily be managed depending on your area of interest and how you structure your team.
This application is ONLY for the conference leadership team, which is a year-long effort in partnership with Reaching Out's full-time staff. Applications for session directors will be available in the spring. The team usually kicks off its planning in December.
You must be enrolled in an MBA program during the dates of the conference to be eligible.
All related travel, lodging, and planning expenses are covered for team members.
