Our contacts list is still growing; please share news of this event with any Illinois State Alumni working in the financial world with whom you keep in touch.
The panel discussion will involve several Illinois State finance professionals Alumni speaking to the FMA students and guests on “Dealing With a Difficult Job Market.”
At the April 2008 luncheon, 14 Illinois State Alumni volunteered to form a steering committee to lay ground work for a networking organization for Illinois State alumni from all majors, who work in finance-related professions and want to network with other Illinois State Alumni in the financial world. The 14 have developed the organization through a formal meeting, extensive e-mails, and helping to host the College of Business tent at Illinois State’s 2008 Homecoming (along with a post-game social hour.) These ISAF steering committee members will be at the upcoming lunch to welcome other graduates and discuss our vision for a vibrant networking organization. We will work with the new College of Business Alumni Network, but also have our own activities with the interests of finance professionals in mind. We hope to have both Chicagoland and downstate activities as ISAF grows. Recent turmoil in the financial markets highlights the importance of networking for people in finance-related professions.
Hope to see you in April!
