Broad alumni connect with their school — and each other

Alumni networking and career development activities during 2005-06 included:

• Dan Mathews (BA Hotel and Restaurant Management ’66), the 2005 chairperson of the Broad School Alumni Networking Committee, visited Denver-area alumni on Sept. 9, 2005, to talk about about networking opportunities available through the Broad School and the Denver-area MSU regional club.
• Nearly 400 alumni, businesspeople and MBA students attended the 40th annual Broad Executive Forum (of Detroit), on Oct. 5, 2005, to hear “An Insider’s Guide to Outsourcing,” presented by faculty, industry and labor leaders, and executive keynote speaker Steve Schuckenbrock of EDS.
• Atlanta alumni participated in a March 18, 2006, event featuring alumni leadership in the Atlanta area and faculty presenters on the topic “Leadership Characteristics Industry Wants.”
• Months of planning by Chicago business alumni resulted in the successful launch of the first Broad Executive Forum outside of Michigan, on May 10, 2006, in downtown Chicago. The event, “Expanding the Borders of Business,” attracted hundreds of business and MSU alumni, clients and friends to attend afternoon workshops and a keynote address by Borders Group president, chairman and CEO Greg Josefowicz (BA Marketing ’74).
• Alumni in Charlotte, North Carolina, established a Founders’ Council and Launch Committee in June 2006 to develop a schedule of Broad School-sponsored networking events in the area for 2006-07.

On-campus activities and sponsorship for alumni events in 2005-06 included:
