Hi, Everyone,
As Vickie said, I met with Lynne and am delighted she'll be working with us. Two key points I brought up with her were helping us connect with speakers from major firms who could draw like Target and StarCom and also helping us reach out more widely to LS&A students. The program and membership officers should reach out to her to discuss these areas this summer. She says that LS&A and Ross share many business contacts, so we should be able to draw speakers of mutual interest -- and we should try to keep up year-long the interest level that our mass meetings drew last fall. Also, while she says there are several business-oriented clubs in LS&A (as Future Business Leaders of America / FBLA), I think we have something special to offer both in terms of programming (perhaps some joint) and particularly our emphasis on "market yourself" and competition. So let's get started so we're more ready to roll in September.
Also, we need to get a bead on the Michigan DEX Leadership Conference intentions and on the proposed Indiana University Big-10 DEX competition. Last I heard, the latter was proposed for the date of the UM/OSU football game, which isn't going to be a huge draw for many of our members! -- Kay
