Black Management Alumni Club
Black Management Alumni Club

This year promises to be an exciting one for the Kellogg Black Alumni Club with numerous plans and programs that will make the organization more prolific and beneficial to all our valued alums. We have set a goal of becoming a model Kellogg alumni organization and would like to share the steps we will take this year to get closer to that goal.

Our first priority continues to be our membership base, particularly integrating older alums into our database and activities. To be a great organization, we are going to need the full cooperation of that group in addition to our more recent alums, and we want to incorporate activities that will appeal both personally and professionally.

Another long-overdue initiative is re-establishing our commitment to our communities, and while it is difficult to reach the entire country with one program, we hope to provide tools and opportunities wherever our alums happen to reside. In addition, we hope to add a professional development component. While the details are still being determined, this year will set the foundation for years to come.

Our Web site continues to evolve, and 2008 will bring even more enhancements, such as our job section for postings of open positions. Overall, our communications strategy will be even more effective, providing each of our alums with timely and relevant information through periodic e-mails, tri-annual newsletters and home page postings. Outside of our activity centers of New York and Chicago, we will use our partnership with the regional Kellogg alumni clubs to communicate some of the key national news relevant to the KBAC.

We cannot stress enough that our success in 2008 is dependent on our membership far more than our leadership. We need everyone to encourage their classmates and friends to update their information on the Web site, attend events, mentor current and future Kellogg students and alumni, and most importantly give us feedback on what you would like to see, do and learn. We look forward to a year of growth and productivity in our powerful network — reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.
