The Managers' Ball is the signature TMP event of the year. With over 500 guests in attendance, the ball is a wonderful opportunity to come together and enjoy an elegant evening while at the same time raising money for select charities. Students, recent alumni, and faculty are cordially invited to attend in groups, solo, or with a spouse, date, or significant other.

Presented by The Kellogg School of Management, The Evening Management Association, and Dean Vennie Lyons, the evening will feature cocktails, hors d'ouevres, dinner, dessert, live entertainment, and dancing. In addition, a wide array of silent auction items will be available for bidding and raffle tickets will be sold with all proceeds benefiting charities pre-selected by TMP students.

Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection is one of the charities that will benefit from the 2007 event.  Visit http://kellogg.northwestern.edu/managersball/ to learn more. 

Through the Business School Connection its the Tutor/Mentor Connection's goal that events like this will be duplicated each year by many colleges and universities, with the funds being distributed to volunteer based tutor/mentor programs in the city of the local university.  As business school students are learning, it takes a steady stream of revenue to build a constantly improving and growing business. By innovating ways to generate revenue for tutor/mentor programs, business schools can provide much of the revenue needed for dozens of programs in many different cities of the world.

The Managers' Ball is a great opportunity to talk about Tutor Mentor programs directly to Business School students and get them interested. Dan and his team will be on hand to answer any questions about the program and explain how you can get involved.

For all new 'Managers' Ball' visitors that have taken the time to visit this site, thank you for your interest. Please browse through the different discussion topics, identify opportunities where you can help and join the forum. The cirical thing to understand is that a non-profit program like Cabrini Connections has similar needs and problems as a corporation does, so the tools we learn in Business School are just as relevant here.

Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection was well represented last night at the Kellogg Manager's Ball, held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Five of our volunteers attended, along with myself. As Nikhil suggested, it was a great opportunity to network and encourage involvement in Cabrini Connections and tutor/mentor programs throughout the Chicago region. The networking with the Manager's Ball participants is especially important because these students almost all are already working full time jobs in area businesses. Thus, as they understand how they can use their talent and leadership abilities to encourage peers and corporate involvement in tutor/mentor programs, just a few of these people can have a quantum impact on the lives of thousands of young people. How to follow up? Read the messages I post at http://tutormentor.blogspot.com. These point to research and reports that illustrate why and where tutor/mentor programs are needed, and why business should invest strategiclly for economic reasons, not social reasons. As you read these, join in the Businsess School Connection discussion. Help us recruit teams from Northwestern and other top business schools who take the role of intermediary, facilitator, and marketer, to draw more people from your network into this discussion, and into tutor/mentor support strategies that mesh with workforce development and diversity strategies of businesses and universities throughout the country. Margaret Mead wrote that it only takes a few people to change the world. I encourage you to look in your mirror and ask "Am I one of those people?" If the answer is "YES" then I hope to see your introduction in these forums.
