GLOBAL INVESTMENT, INNOVATION & IMPACT

On behalf of the Clark Atlanta University School of Business, we would like to invite you to participate in our 17th Annual LEAD Week Conference, a leadership and professional development event, held February 13 - 17, 2012, on the campus of Clark Atlanta Univeristy.

Our Annual LEAD Week Conference is the largest affair our School of Business hosts which brings students, faculty, and alumni together to participate in inspiring programming, networking and recruiting sessions. Our goal is to provide students with key skill sets that further empower them in the business arena. We provide our students the opportunities to:

1. gain valuable insight from experienced professionals

2. network

3. meet with recruiters, and

4. learn more about their areas of interests

The theme of this year's conference is "Transformational Leadership: Global Investment, Innovation & Impact". Our goal this year is to provide attendees with the key attributes and skill sets that will make them competitive in an aggressive and global environment.

The Conference culminates in an elegant affair, the Black-Tie Gala and Silent Auction on Friday, February 17^th, 2012. This annual scholarship fund-raising event gives alumni and sponsors an opportunity to "commit" by pledging their financial support to the School of Business Administration.
