The MBA class of 2012 at the Odette School Business will celebrate local leadership when they launch the inaugural "Conversations with Community Champions event" on Friday, December 16, 2011 at the Odette School of Business, University of Windsor from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The event marks the culmination of a semester’s work on developing personal leadership strengths and learning about leadership from the very best in our community. Each MBA team was partnered with two local leaders. Through extensive background research and personal interviews with the leaders, the MBA students enriched their knowledge of the skills, abilities and attitudes necessary to become a passionate leader who makes a difference in the lives of those around them and in their community. The event is an opportunity to celebrate the talents, commitment and the many contributions of Windsor’s own Community Champions. The featured leaders will be presented by teams in rooms 321 and 210, beginning at 10:30 A.M. in the Odette School of Business building.
These Champions are very worthy of celebration. Each has forged their own leadership path and made Windsor and Essex County a stronger and more vibrant community. They inspire leadership in others. They are all leaders in giving back to the community.
The MBA class of 2012 will “pay it forward” over the next year through mentoring and helping to develop the leadership potential of a talented group of Forster Secondary School students in co-operation with their teacher, Mr. Greg Adler. These students and their teacher will also be present at this event. They are our next generation of our community champions!
This year, the featured Community Champions are:
Ari Freed (Freed’s of Windsor); Rose Anguiano Hurst (WEST of Windsor); Ted Farron (Farron’s Gourmet Meats); Adam Vasey (Pathways to Potential); Karen Behune Plunkett (WE Tech); Carol Derbyshire (Hospice of Windsor); Jennifer Jones (MediaStreet Productions); John Elliot (Sandwich Teen Action Group); Joe Ouellette (Acrolab); Elaine Whitmore (John McGivney Centre); Chandra Dass (Downtown Mission); and Jim Marsh (WFT Investments, and Odette SIFE Faculty Advisor).
This event begins in room 210 Odette at 10 a.m. All media are welcome. Presentations will begin at 10:30 in rooms 210 and 321 following introductory remarks; cameras can be set up in rooms 210 and 321 at 9:45 A.M. The community leaders and students will be available for interviews from 9:45 to 10 and at 12 noon.
