Washington, DC / Maryland / Virginia

On April 12, more than 70 alumni participated in Kellogg's Expert Series, "Washington Careers --- The Market You Should Know." Held at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a world-class panel of experts provided insight into careers in the commercial entities, government sector, nonprofit organizations, associations and nongovernmental organizations that are all driving forces behind the local economy. The expert panel included Eric Vautour, office managing partner for Russell Reynolds Associates; Mark Steven Bullock, assistant director, administrative services division, FBI; David Eisner, CEO, Corporation for National and Community Service; Gren Millard, a partner with Russell Reynolds Associates; Andrew Bartley '93, principal investment officer for International Finance Corp., and Ellen Brereton, chief strategic planning and services unit, FBI. These senior leaders discussed how MBAs are playing major roles in their organizations, providing insight on how to be positioned for executive careers in a market few of us really know about.

Many thanks to Kim McCaslin '98, Todd Wincup '01, Beth Gertz '98, Michael Helmicki '01, Andrew Bartley '93 and Eve Jelstrom '90, who were instrumental in coordinating this event for alumni and friends.
