Welcome
The Charlton Center for Responsible Investing, College of Business Administration, University of Detroit Mercy is pleased to bring to our campus and community the President and Chair of the Export Import Bank (EXIM) of the United States, Reta Jo Lewis, Esq. in our 2nd Annual Speaker Series.
Chair Lewis, the first African-American woman to lead EXIM in that Agency's 90 year history, will join our Center Director, Dawna Edwards-Rodgers in a far ranging discussion that will touch on the extensive domestic and global work of EXIM under her leadership, the importance of importing and exporting on our State's economy, her personal professional journey, and advice for those seeking to excel in their careers.
Thank you for joining us at the Charlton Center for Responsible Investing's 2nd Annual Fireside Chat, featuring international finance figure Reta Jo Lewis, Esq., President and Chair of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM).
Your presence at the event was tremendously appreciated, and we are grateful for your support. We were thrilled to have you as part of our community. We hope you found the comments of our guest educational and impactful; and that you gained a greater appreciation for the important work of EXIM under Chair Lewis' leadership in leveling the playing field for American businesses and workers in exporting.

The Mission of the Charlton Center is to work to reverse the trend of underrepresentation of black, brown, and females in the investment industry by providing academic excellence and hands-on training to students interested in a career as an investment professional.
The Annual Speaker Series is one of the initiatives of the Charlton Center. Our goal is to bring before the University and community 'new voices and new faces' who are leading business figures and who have achieved excellence in their fields. Both our inaugural speaker, Mellody Hobson, and our current speaker, Chair Reta Jo Lewis, exemplified this level of success.
We look forward to having you join us for our 2024 Speaker Series and will update you with that future announcement.
Thank you again for joining us,
Dawna Edwards-Rodgers, Director
Charlton Center for Responsible Investing
