The UW EMBA held its first Executive Recruiting Reception at the Rainier Club in downtown Seattle on November 28, 2001. Alumni, current EMBA students and faculty were invited to bring interested guests to the information reception to learn more about the program. Ken Hey, 2001 Ernst and Young Northwest Entrepreneur of the Year and Regional EMBA class of 2000 alumni, presented his success story on how the EMBA program helped him lead his company to be the 12th fastest growing company in Washington during 2000.

In addition to current Regional EMBA and North America EMBA students, we were joined by alumni from previous EMBA classes. Many saw this event as a chance to introduce colleagues to their program and a way to meet up with old classmates as well.

Stay tuned for the next recruiting event. Also, we want to begin highlighting our alumni here on Alumni Links. If you have any news about yourself or other alumni please forward the information to Belina Makonnen at belinam@u.washington.edu.
