DAYTON — Women in Business Networking (WiBN), a program of Better Business Bureau serving Dayton/Miami Valley, is hosting a Lunch N Learn on March 26 titled Bridging IDEAS (We all Hold the Keys), featuring Ivy Glover, Wright-Patt Credit Union, Inc.’s director of social impact.
The event will be held at the NCR Country Club, 4435 Dogwood Trail, Kettering. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. and lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. The program will run from noon to 1 p.m. The cost is $25 for WiBN members and BBB accredited businesses/charities and $35 for others.
During this event, Glover will share that diversity, equity and inclusion don’t have to live in a silo. When it comes to unlocking a culture, community and business where IDEAS (inclusion, diversity, equity and access) thrive, we all hold the keys. Hear her individual IDEAS journey; her why and how they have shaped her experiences and perspective; learn about Wright-Patt Credit Union’s (WPCU’s) five keys to fostering an inclusive culture; and gain practical tips on how you can apply them personally and professionally.
Glover’s responsible for development and implementation of internal and external inclusion, diversity, equity and impact strategies at WPCU. For 10 years, she also led financial literacy initiatives, including the nationally awarded and recognized Savings Race.

Outside of the office, she spends time with her husband and five sons, balancing life as a “busy momfessional.” Within the community, Glover serves on the Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors, the Human Services Levy Council and the Miami Valley Urban League Advisory Board.
Glover holds a bachelor’s degree in mass communication (with a marketing minor) from Wright State University. She also holds certified diversity professional and certified credit union financial counselor designations.

Sheri Sword, WiBN’s executive director, said, “WiBN is all about helping women ‘Prepare To Propel’, the program’s theme for the year. We don’t want our differences or others’ differences to hold us back. We want to embrace differences and make our lives, careers and businesses stronger. Our speaker will help us do that day in and day out. Register today to join us for this event. It’s one you won’t want to miss.”
