BLENDING SECTORS 2001

5:30 to 8:30 pm
The Yale Club of New York City
hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine will be served
"Reflections on Leadership, Change, and Responsibility: Bridging
SOM's 25 Years"
The annual Blending Sectors event is an important demonstration
of SOM's commitment to a cross-sector, private-public-non-profit
management education. The event provides a forum for alumni and
students to share perspectives on working across and at the intersection
of the sectors. It is also an opportunity to reflect on how interactions
between these sectors impact business and influence economic and
social progress.
In this 25th Anniversary year, we seek to understand and recapture
the sense of challenge and purpose that was present at the school's
founding. We can draw inspiration from the school's success in meeting
the difficult issues of that time by defining a new public-private
management approach. In addition, we can draw upon the past 25 years
of experience in cross-sector interactions and identify the key
lessons. This shared SOM heritage is the foundation upon which today's
school community will build to meet the political, social, and economic
challenges of our time.
The evening's program will be as follows:
5:30 Registration and light refreshments
6:30 Opening remarks by the organizers - Students and Yale SOMAA

Deborah Winshel of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
October 29
11:30 am to 1 pm
GM Room
*Lunch will be served
While its IRS designation 501(c)(3) connotes a not-for-profit status,
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, with an annual operating
budget of $200 million, finds the challenge of functioning with
a break-even bottom line to be considerable. Deborah M. Winshel
(MBA '85) spent thirteen years at J.P. Morgan before putting her
skills to work as SVP and CFO at the Met. "We have a strong, diverse,
unpredictable revenue base, and the financial demands of running
an institution this size are considerable," says Winshel. Ms. Winshel
will talk about her decision to leave JP Morgan, her career structure
generally, and the challenges of having a not-for-profit revenue
stream, but also having many of the escalating costs of a commercial
operation.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Economic Development SIG had its kick-off meeting at 4:00 on
Tuesday, September 25. We had a strong turnout of 14 first-year
students. We were also fortunate to have DBL coordinators Hope Norman
and Deborah Cronen at the meeting. Second year student Nancy Feeney
also contributed her experiences to the meeting. (The first year
attendee list can be found at the end of this article.) This turnout
was particularly impressive since the Econ Dev SIG coordinators
inadvertently scheduled the kick-off on top of the Financial Reporting
class time. The students had a wide-ranging set of interests in
the economic development field. We are fortunate that many of them
are bringing their extensive experience in the field to SOM.
The SIG coordinators, Namita Kamath and Larry Chang, started the
kick-off meeting by talking about the SIG's activities during the
2000-01 academic year. Those activities included hosting two speakers
and a mini-conference, organizing a field visit to Boston, coordinating
a student discussion moderated by Professor Koppell, and arranging
a series of conference calls with alumni. They then outlined the
SIG's tentative plans for the year. There will be two major events
for the year: a professional presentation in early December, and
the bi-annual Economic Development conference sometime during the
spring term.
The professional presentation will be a recruiting event modeled
on the corporate presentations, but geared towards non-profit organizations
in the economic development field. We will invite a small number
of organizations to discuss opportunities for summer internships
in the field. The event is intended to bring together students and
economic development organizations, many of which are led by SOM
alumni, in order to help them initiate and formalize the internship
search and recruiting process.. This professional presentation is
being coordinated through the DBL SIG, so other SIG coordinators
are encouraged to contact Namita or Larry if they are interested
in including organizations from their fields in this event.
The bi-annual conference will be a major event for both first year
and second year students since there won't be another conference
until 2004. It is tentatively scheduled for April, but that may
change depending on the rescheduling of the SOM 25th Anniversary
events. Namita will be scheduling a planning meeting to start brainstorming
ideas for the conference's theme. Please contact Namita or Larry
if you have some ideas for the conference or would like to participate
in the planning. First year student attendees: Suzie Desai, Carl
Duke, Matt Gerber, Jocelyn Gottlieb, Channing Henry, Joon Kang,
Ian Kim, Julianne Marashian, Kasia Pindak, Doug Sloane, Alice Steenland,
Rob Strickland, Mathew Veedon, Feng Zhou.
HEALTH CARE
Healthcare Internship Panel
Oct. 31 11:30 am in Room A53
Panel of SOM second-year students will discuss their experiences
working this summer in the healthcare fields. If you're interested
in learning more about this event, or the Healthcare SIG, contact
Moha Desai or Daiva
Braunfelds.
NET IMPACT
Net Impact Annual Conference
November 2nd - 4th
This year's Net Impact Conference "Redefining the Bottom Line"
is being held from November 2 to 4 at the University of North Carolina.
Register by October 18th at www.net-impact.org for a $125 fee, $175
after October 18th. Airline flights are currently listed (as of
Sept. 27, 2001) for $143 on USAir. Hotel rooms at special rates
and staying with a student host are possible. Please contact Tricia

if you have any other questions about the event.
PROGRAM IN MANAGEMENT AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The PME SIG intends to promote awareness of sustainability and
the environment among the SOM community; serve as a forum for discussions
among students interested in the interactions of business, management,
and the environment; and provide support and guidance to students
interested in pursuing careers in environmental management. Towards
these goals, the SIG plans to host a number of activities throughout
the year, including:
1. A Joint-Degree (SOM-FES) Alumni Panel
2. A Guest Speaker (Current Practitioner)
3. Field Trip(s)
4. Fundraiser for purchasing sulfur credits (joint initiative with
the Law School)
If you have any questions about or suggestions for the PME SIG,
please send them our way:
sherry.marin@yale.edu

OTHER NEWS
SOM Students Form Discussion Groups
With the hope of creating intimate environments to discuss how
double-bottom-line issues relate to our SOM education, some first
and second years have initiated two informal discussion groups.
One group meets every Thursday evening, and the other gets together
every other Sunday. The membership of these two groups is essentially
closed. However, a third group is possibly in the making. If you're
interested in participating, contact Ian Kim (ian.kim@yale.edu)
as soon as possible.
The two groups are independent of each other, but they got started
with the same goals in mind. Here is the informal statement of intent
by which the two existing groups operate:
"Our objective is to create small groups of SOM students that
meet regularly to discuss our experiences, curricula, and futures
from a socially and environmentally responsible perspective. A discussion
group is committed, informal, and dedicated to positive dialogue
and mutual support. Through these groups, we seek opportunities
to share, grow, think, and be challenged as we explore our new roles
as leaders in business and society."

DuBose or Dima Reda.
