Live Outside the Greater Boston Area? Plan an Event in Your Region
The SOMAA and ODAR encourage alumnae to network in their regions. To support this and to maximize the number of events that occur, the SOMAA's general practice is to offer a financial subsidy (rather than underwriting the entire cost) for alumnae organized events. However, the SOMAA is willing to fully underwrite the cost of regional “kick-off” events - the first event in any region to bring local alumnae together.

Bring the Simmons Experience Directly to Your Organization
Are you aware of the Speakers Bureau at the SOM? Through the Speakers Bureau, SOM professors and faculty affiliates of the Center for Gender in Organizations (CGO) are available to address your organization about some of the most pressing issues related to women, business and organizational development today.
The Speakers Bureau at the SOM is aligned with CGO’s mission of advancing gender equity and women’s leadership in organizations worldwide. Members of our Speakers Bureau are subject matter experts who are frequently quoted in the national media and whose work has been published by the Harvard Business Review, Journal of Business Ethics, The Diversity Factor, Leadership Quarterly, and other respected magazines and journals.
Whether addressing an intimate workgroup of 20 or a large conference, SOM speakers bring their depth of knowledge, along with an unparalleled passion for their work, directly to the podium. Recent speaking topics include:
* Gender Dynamics in the Workplace: Implications for Women and Leadership
* Learning from Diversity
* Negotiating the Conditions for Leadership Success
* Creating your Credibility and Authority
* How to Build a Mentoring Network
* Latinas at the Crossroads of Leadership
Contact the SOM today for more information or to engage a speaker for your organization. Call 617.521.3824 for more information, or visit the Speakers Bureau online.

Stay in Touch with Alumnae without Leaving Your Desk
Wish you could stay in touch with other alumnae from the convenience of your own desk? Then join the lively email discussion group of SOM alumnae. It's moderated, in a low-key minimal way, by Peg Kelley '88. The group now has more than 200 members, and all SOM alumnae are invited! Current students may subscribe in the June before graduation. Topics include job opportunities, events of interest to alumnae and working women, requests for information, news of business funding options...and more. How to join? Go to http://www.yahoo.com and click on Groups/Clubs in the "connect" area toward the top of the home page. This will bring you to a page that says, "What is a Group?" and "Join a Group." Under "Join a Group" enter simmonssom (all lowercase and no spaces) and select search. Now you will be at our group page. If you're already a member of Yahoo, then just click "sign in" on the upper right. If you're not a member of Yahoo, click on "register" on the upper right, and enter the requested information. It's FREE. You will then be admitted to the list. Peg will send you a welcome note to confirm your subscription. (It takes more words to describe the process than time to do it!) If you have any questions or difficulty subscribing, contact Peg at 617.926.4845 or via email at kelley@facplus.com.
