Direction & Goals
Adopt
best practices from
our regional Michigan clubs and other alumni
organizations
Expand
our network through
efforts with other business school alumni
organizations by co-hosting events and
coordinated planning and thereby providing more
opportunities and value to our members
Provide
improved communications and services
through the technology tools the university
is now providing our clubs
Reach
out to area alumni who
may have lost touch with the organization, or
have recently moved into the area
Solicit
and increase the participation of our more senior
and influential alumni to increase
the power of our network and to provide the best
events and services possible
Website and Email
Update
Our
new website is hosted by the business school and uses
their website template.
http://webuser.bus.umich.edu/Clubsites/WashingtonDC/
The
site will allow us to synchronize our email list with
the business schools online directory. Please update
your contact information online with the business
school. It will soon automatically update our mailing
lists. The website will allow you to go to a single
place for all events, contact information, and news.
It will also provide us an easier process in which to
provide that information.
Expanding the Network
We
have contacted our regional clubs, many of the top
ten business school alumni clubs, and local business
school alumni clubs to gather and identify best
practices. The primary take-aways are:
- Co-host
events and coordinate with other schools to
provide: greater networking opportunities,
better planned and more well attended events,
and more prominent speakers and sponsors
- Some
regions, such as Denver, have taken this to a
more formalized process with highly
successful results -- schools in this area
are interested in establishing a similar
process
Spring Event
We
are planning an event for this spring...more details to follow...
Events for
prospective MBAs

Thanks
in advance for your partnership in recruiting top MBA
talent!
