“Leaders are made
they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is
the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that
is worthwhile” –
Vince Lombardi

Over 120 EMBA alumni from Seattle and across the United States, representing
19 classes from 1985 to 2002, attended the 2nd Annual EMBA
Alumni Celebration of Leaders. Several faculty and EMBA
staff members were present to welcome alumni and socialize.
The event was held on March 13, 2003 at the Bell Harbor Conference
Center, located on the waterfront in downtown Seattle. Celebration
of Leaders is an opportunity to reunite and reconnect with
classmates and friends and to recognize alumni who have shown
extraordinary leadership in the areas of business, entrepreneurship
and community.
Brian Evison (2002), a member of the Celebration Steering committee,
welcomed the alumni. Following Brian’s welcome, the Dean
of the Business School, Yash Gupta, spoke about the
exciting changes at the business school and ways for EMBA
alumni to become involved.
The Keynote Speaker for the evening was President and CEO of the Seattle
Mariners, Chuck Armstrong.
AWARD RECIPIENTS:
The award recipients were selected by the Celebration of Leaders steering
committee. The steering committee, an assembly of EMBA alumni,
spent several weeks developing program objectives and determining
the criteria by which recipients would be chosen. The steering
committee members were Mary McCoy (2001) and Bev Franklin
(2000), co-chairs, Sandeep Arora (2001), Kathleen
Deakins (2001), Brian Evison (2002), Marla Miller
(1985), Barb Ivanov (2000), Gary Gunderson (2000)
and Peggy Cortelyou (1988).
Alumni continued to socialize well after the close of the program
and some alumni even gathered for class photos. It was an
evening of sharing memories, reuniting with good friends,
making new friends and celebrating the leader with in us all.
