During Spring Break, outgoing AIMS VP Brian LeBlanc and incoming Tech Officer Marc Schmalz visited with Washington state representatives and senators in Olympia.
Their mission was to express the value of higher education, and point out some of the contributions MSIM graduates can make to the people and economy of Washington state. In speaking briefly to our state politicians, Brian and Marc highlighted the essential value information managers already contribute in a heavily technology dependent economy.
