ABBS has elected eight new officers for the 2009-2010 school year. The ABBS officers this year have all the ingredients that create a high-quality team. Our team shows great cohesiveness and communication amongst each other to help bring ABBS to the top.
The ABBS officers for the 2009-2010 school year are:
Yerusalem Yemane - President
Elaine Raymond - VP of Operations
Omar Ibrahim - VP of Employer Relations
Travonne Ivey - VP of Finance
Bryant Enge - VP of Campus Relations
Richard Anderson IV - VP of Alumni Relations
Jamie Wheeler - VP of Communications
Jai Elliot - ABBS Advisor
ABBS membership is one of the main differences from years past. With collective efforts from all the ABBS officers and members we have achieved over 30 active members this year. This number is continuously growing. Next quarter we will continue to recruit more members into ABBS and achieve our goal of 40 active members this year.
With all the new members ABBS has recruited, we are able to do more activities and fundraising opportunities. During Fall quarter Omar Ibrahim brought in Boeing and Ambercrombie & Fitch to speak with the members of ABBS about career opportunities. Both of their presentations were about an hour long and the provided us with useful information on their companies and the specific abilities they are looking for in a future employee.
ABBS also created our first Foster Gear T-shirt Sale with efforts to raise funds for our club. The T-shirt sale consisted of black and gray long-sleeve shirts and gray hooded sweat-shirts. Each shirt had the new Foster School of Business logo on the front. The T-shirt sale was a great success. ABBS is going to continue the Foster Gear T-shirt sale this month. We are also adding a stylish short-sleeved T-shirt.
We will be selling T-shirts and sweatshirts January 26-28 from 10 am - 2 pm in Paccar Hall in front of the commons. Please email TraVonne Ivey at uwabbs@u.washington.edu with orders and questions.
