Message from the Associate Dean: Busy Times – A Month in the Life…
If there is one thing I hear increasingly when talking to students and alums, it's how busy everyone is. And at some point we have to question whether or not email is actually making our lives easier or more difficult. I wrote a blog piece in 2010 on a piece where someone had predicted that by 2015, at the current rate of acceleration, managers would be spending "over 100%" of their time just doing email. Any way we slice it, we are busy folks performing demanding tasks in demanding positions and for organizations that seem to expect more from their employees each and every year.
The Massey School and Belmont are no different. With student enrollment growth that has increased from roughly 3,000 just over a decade ago to 6,400 this past fall, we are already a much different organization than most of you as alums remember us being. There is a lot going on here at Belmont as we continue to grow, and The Massey School is continuing to expand as well. Stay tuned next month for the announcement of yet another new business program that we are very excited about launching -- more about that in the May 1 eLeader!
For now, though, I thought it might be interesting to give you a sample of what a month is like here in Massey as of 2012. If, for example, you graduated back in 1997, maybe it's food for thought in terms of what is the same vs. what is new and different. So, here is a snapshot of what's on our calendar of "unique" events for this month:
April
2 - Massey Graduate Council Meeting
4 - Nashville Women's MBA Meeting (Massey Chapter) and Celebration
5 - Last Chance - ETS Major Field Test (Exit Exam) for Professional MBA Students
6 - CLOSED for Good Friday
9 - Faculty/Staff Retirement Reception - Dr. Jennie Carter Thomas
9 - Professional Photography Sitting-Headshots Opportunity for Massey Students (Images by Teal)
11 - Massey Industry Spotlight Session - "Technology" - President & CEO Nashville Technology Council
12 - Massey Information Session for Prospective Students
12 - Massey Student Power Luncheon - Caterpillar Finance Executive VP & CFO Jim Duensing
13 - Fall Registration for Classes Opens (Alums to begin Massey Passport Requests)
14 - Massey Students to Assist with National Multiple Sclerosis Society (Mid-South Chapter) Walk Event
14 - Professional Photography Sitting-Headshots Opportunity for Massey Students (Images by Teal)
16 - Massey Graduate Council Meeting
16 - Massey Alumni Board Meeting
19 - Massey Alumni Networking Event - Drake's at Cool Springs (6-9 p.m.)
21 - Last pre-Trip Meeting - Massey PMBA/MACC Study Abroad (Dubai, United Arab Emirates)
23 - Last pre-Trip Meeting - Massey Accelerated MBA Study Abroad (Cape Town, South Africa)
23 - (through 27) Massey Lean Healthcare Certificate Course Launch (23-27) with Healthcare Performance Partners
29 - Habitat for Humanity Build (partnering with Habitat's Young Professionals group)
30 - Massey Graduate Council Meeting
Takeaways? Yes, like you, we are a busier place than we used to be with many people and events vying for our attention and time. Looking on the bright side, though, think of all the wonderful new opportunities for learning and networking that are now available for Massey students and alumni! Let us know how you'd like to become more involved in our program and if you see even more opportunities where we can be of service to you as alums. Back to email...
Power lunch: Advertising in the legal arena
WHAT: POWER LUNCH
DATE: February 9, 2012
TIME: 11:00AM – 12:30PM
COMPANY: CJ Advertising
HOST: Arnie Malham- CEO & Founder
LOCATION: 300 10th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203
***The Power Lunch is limited to 20 students***
Please RSVP to Tina Bielefeld, PMBA Chair, at mgcpmba@gmail.com
One day while sitting at his desk at Channel 5 News in Nashville, Tennessee, then-sales representative Arnie Malham had an idea that would dramatically alter his life. Familiar with the advertising needs of lawyers through his work at Channel 5, Malham soon realized that many law firms lacked the necessary assistance to better capture the attention of potential clients. After careful thought and planning, CJ Advertising was established in 1992 with its office based in Malham’s home. In 1994, with the great demand for their services, Malham expanded the agency to include the following departments: Production, Print Services, Yellow Page Management, Web Services, Public Relations, Media Services, and Brand Management.
Now, as the largest full-service advertising agency in the United States that exclusively services injury law firms, CJ Advertising is a leader in the creation, promotion, and distribution of direct response advertising for injury lawyers. With 68 dedicated full-time professionals, the agency currently produces advertising campaigns for 40 law firms in 70-plus markets nationwide. Additionally, the success and services of cj Advertising is accompanied by Legal Intake Professionals, which provides around-the-clock and holiday legal intake services to injury law firms across the nation.
The agency’s growth proves that Malham was on target when he seized the opportunity to work with injury law firms. As for the future of cj and its sister businesses, things look bright. Malham and his administrative staff have established cj Advertising as one of the best places to work in the country, and continue to bring aboard new talent to ensure continued excellence in service and product development.
For parking, please park in the lot to the right of the building (when approaching the building from Demonbreun St, the lot is immediately on the left, across from Cummins Station).
