St. Ambrose University is expanding services to its post-graduate business alumni. The new, "Forever Masters" program kicks off tonight and tomorrow with a keynote speaker.
Dr. Ron Wastyn, Director of the Master of Organizational Leadership program in the College of Business, says Forever Masters shows the school's commitment to those who earned MBA, Master of Organizational Leadership, Master of Accounting, and Doctor of Business Administration degrees at SAU.
About 12,000 of the college's post-graduate alumni live within 90 miles of the Davenport campus. Some, but not all, of them entered fields that require continuing education units.
Those who earned post-graduate business degrees at SAU are automatically members of the Forever Masters program. Benefits include free workshops and assistance from the St. Ambrose Professional Development Center.
The first Forever Masters speaker is business writer and editor, Art Kleiner, Editor and Chief of the global management magazine, "Strategy and Business." He'll talk about, "Your Foothold in the Renaissance: The Strategic Value of Life Long Learning in Business.” Tonight's (mon) program starts at 7 p.m. at the Rogalski Center at St. Ambrose (free, open to public).
Then tomorrow at 7:30 a.m., Kleiner will speak at a Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce breakfast. The topic will be “Strategy That Works,” and it will also be held at the Rogalski Center (requires registration).
Other sponsors of Kleiner's appearances are Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, Black Hawk College, and the chamber.
