1. Distinguished Speaker Series Visibility Plan
Featuring Neel Grover (CE0 of Buy.com)
November 5th, 2009
Proposed Program Purpose/ Rationale
1) Distinguished Speaker Series brings a variety of Chief Level Officers to campus to address relevant issues and share insight on
leadership perspectives, ethical frameworks, and decision-making processes of their firm. The
Distinguished Speaker Series is a program of the Center for Leadership and Team Development, one of the Centers of
Excellence at the Paul Merage School of Business.
2) The Speaker Series Events are high-level networking opportunities for MBA students, Merage faculty, staff, alumni, corporate
partners and members of the Dean’s Leadership Circle frequently attend Speaker Series Events.
Visibility Plan Goals and Target Market
In order to promote visibility/awareness for the Center for Leadership and Team Development’s Distinguished Speaker Series this
November 5th, I have proposed a wide range of marketing strategies to reach out to different campus entities.
DSS Marketing for campus entities
a. MBA student organizations (more personalized that an email)
