Winnie Glover earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Temple University’s School of Tourism & Hospitality Management in 2005. Her concentration of study was event marketing and tourism travel research and development. She is currently pursuing her MBA at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania. Winnie’s area of focus for her MBA program is International Business with the hopes to later specialize in International Peace & Conflict Resolution. Winnie brings valuable insights and knowledge to numerous facets of marketing and event planning including: diagnosing project performance issues, developing remedial actions through research, creating questionnaires and surveys, compiling and analyzing market trends to align marketing efforts, and determining practical applications for promotion through events and branded environments that engage, educate and entertain audiences. The value she brings can be interpreted as a unique synergy due to the sole fact that for the past 5 years her professional experiences have been within various industries in the corporate sector that span from Entertainment to Media Production, Tourism and Travel to Economic Development research, Event Marketing to Advertising and Marketing Research. She brings a diversified perspective that will undoubtedly contribute to mission-driven work. This summer, Winnie will be interning at Education Voters, Philadelphia.

"Through the New Leaders Prgoram, I hope to gain the missing foundation I’ve been look for, which encompasses mission-driven work that will allow me to work towards being a leader and enable me to be closer to the heart of an organization."

More about Winnie

What particular experience has contributed to your desire to work with a progressive organization and participate in the NLP? What do you hope to gain from participating?
Throughout my professional experiences I have grown to understand that it is the positive impact one makes on a given community and/or person that is more valuable than any monetary reward. The highlights of my work experiences will and have always been when I was able to create programs and events, as well as introduce meaningful connections for communities and businesses to foster lasting partnerships. I wanted over time to make sure that work fit me and that my work was mission-driven. I believe that working with a progressive organization that is in partnership with the New Leaders Program would allow me to gain cross functional and general planning/training skills. This role will enable me to be in contact with leaders of communities to equip them with the knowledge and tools that will inspire leaders to reach beyond what they are capable of and achieve the unattainable for their constituents. Through this experience, I hope to gain the missing foundation I’ve been look for, which encompasses mission-driven work that will allow me to work towards being a leader and enable me to be closer to the heart of an organization. I further hope to transfer my knowledge to those who are unable to speak for themselves and become their “voice.” With the help of the New Leaders Program, I am confident I will be able to cultivate that “voice.”
