November 10th Meeting!

This Tuesday, Jacque Bartholomew, recently retired from Wells Fargo Bank as manager, will be speaking about her journey into the world of finance. Jacque is a UC Davis graduate and has contributed quite a bit of funds to UC Davis in order to help the development of the University. She was the manager of the Davis branch of Wells Fargo but has recently retired after 41 years of excellent service.

She will be telling her own personal story of how she got to her position and status from her humble beginnings at UC Davis.

For all active members, this will surely be an opportunity to learn first hand what it takes to become a success in the business world.

Please remember that all guest speaker events are for active members, and active members are only those that have paid their dues. If you would like to attend, but are not active, please see the Treasurer, Chris Tung, before the meeting to become active.

Upcoming Events for November 2009

We have a guest speaker, Cheryl Purifoy, who will be talking about the UCDC Marketing Intern position here on campus. She will then be conducting two group interviews for those who submitted applications: one at 8:15 and again at 8:30. Remember, for guest speakers like this the affire is business. Wear what you'd wear to an interview, because that's essentially what will be going on during that meeting.

Also, for this Tuesday's meeting, 11/10, dress in business attire. We'll send out an email later today about this Tuesday's meeting and what to expect.

If you are interested in this opportunity send your cover letter and resume by November 13 to washingtonprogram@ucdavis.edu
