Join the MBA Association and WU IMA to have a look at financial management and accounting from the perspective of a not-for-profit – a perspective that you don’t see much in your classes.

All current Washburn MBA and MAcc students are welcome and encouraged to be members of the WMBAA. No application or dues are required for membership. Gina Stewart, BS ’09, MBA ’14, Executive Director of Administration and Jordan Schmitz, BBA ’15, MAcc ’17, Senior Accountant will present operational details of the Washburn Alumni Association and Foundation and also will discuss how their MBA and MAcc degrees prepared them for their current leadership roles in administration and accounting within a non-profit organization.

Tara Dimick has navigated entrepreneurship, nonprofit governance, corporate leadership, community development and even school board politics during a pandemic. While some might call it a success story, Tara just calls it an adventure. An adventure that she has no interest in slowing down. While the journey hasn't always been easy or clear, it has been based in a foundation of core beliefs, constant learning, and the willingness to experiment and fail. Tara will share her story and how each of these three key areas have helped guide her to today and how she looks to use them to guide her moving forward.

Complimentary - Do you know someone who may be interested in Washburn's MBA or MAcc programs? Feel free to share this invitation with them and bring them along.

RSVP by Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at wualumni.org/mba.
