A Message from Sigrid
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend.
Looking at the MBAA Calendar for upcoming events, you will see that the opportunities are vast! While it is literally impossible to participate in everything, be sure to take advantage of these excellent options to further educate yourself about a company or industry, build your networking connections, and/or develop new skills.
Speaking of networking, a big shout out this week to MBAA Huddle, headed up by Sam Quinn and Brad Copenhaver, for planning and facilitating these football tailgate events! If you haven’t attended one yet this year, there are still more to come. Get to know your fellow full-time and evening MBA colleagues better as you root on the Huskies!
Have a good week ahead and let me know if you have any questions.
