Quite
a bit has transpired within the organization since the last
Town Hall meeting at the 19th BMA Conference. Perhaps the
biggest change has taken place in the leadership ranks. Our
ascension to the roles of co-chairs has come after three spectacular
years under the leadership of Cindy Carey '02 and Donnell
Knighten '99. The two did a great job pushing the organization
forward and establishing our presence in the alumni community,
culminating in the organization being recognized as the Kellogg
School's "Special Interest Club of the Year" by
the alumni office. This is an amazing time to be a part of
this organization, and we look forward to continuing the momentum
and taking the organization to even greater heights.
In
the months to come, you will be informed about our major initiatives
for 2007: strengthening the current alumni network and continuing
to develop ways to connect more alumni, building a nationwide
imprint and enhancing our presence on the Kellogg School's
campus.
While
these goals are ambitious, we feel that each is vital to the
progression of our organization. Beginning with a renewed
membership drive, we hope to increase the number of alums
listed in our club-specific online directory, which will allow
us to extend our reach both professionally and socially. Second,
we are looking to further strengthen our presence across key
markets, allowing us to mobilize representation for various
engagements. Finally, developing relationships with the current
membership of the Black Management Association and the Offices
of Admissions and Alumni Relations will help us impact the
Kellogg School's future.
We
have high expectations for this organization, but we cannot
realize them on our own. It will take a unified effort from
the entire organization and its membership to reach our goals,
and we are reaching out to you for your commitment. We need
leaders, planners, contributors, attendees and, most importantly,
supporters.
