Meyer has a long-standing and impactful relationship with Babson, including AugMentors’ sponsorship of the 2024 Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) Conference hosted by Babson and her continued support for advancing entrepreneurship education. She also has served as a valued member of the F&E CWEL Advisory Board and a dedicated mentor in the Women Innovating Now (WIN) Lab® accelerator program. 

“Under Julie’s guidance, we’ll continue fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, knowing that the future is truly in the hands of the women we serve. Her deep-rooted connection to Babson, combined with her passion for mentorship and advocacy, makes her the ideal leader to build upon Babson’s legacy of excellence,” said Shakenna Williams ’94, executive director of F&E CWEL.  

“Now, more than ever, I am doubling down on entrepreneurship and leadership, especially with the F&E CWEL women at the helm,” Meyer said. “We have always been ready to innovate and pivot and today is no exception. As a founder of two women-owned businesses, the daughter of a female entrepreneur and the mom of two powerhouse daughters, I am energized to mentor, empower, and guide the next generation of leaders to thrive through the coming years, along with the phenomenal team at F&E CWEL.”  

Meyer’s leadership will play a pivotal role in F&E CWEL’s upcoming 25th anniversary celebrations, which will reflect on its rich history of innovation and look ahead to the future.
