COLLABORATION 48 experience INNOVATION Dean’s Leadership Circle THE PREMIER MERAGE NETWORK Your Network for Success By John Gregory The 350 members of the Dean’s Leadership Circle (DLC) reached a milestone in May 2008 with $1 million raised since the DLC was formed three years ago. Of that amount, $450,000 was raised in just the past year. During the first two years, the DLC raised money to renovate a classroom which was dedicated in September 2008 as The Dean’s Leadership Circle Classroom. A plaque mounted inside the classroom honors the 220 DLC members who contributed to the campaign. The DLC is now in the midst of a $1.2 million campaign to endow a professorship at the School. Funds will be instrumental in recruiting and retaining a highlyregarded faculty member. The $450,000 raised last academic year for the professorship campaign “represent a fantastic start,” says Dean Andy Policano. Lead donor gifts for the campaign have been made so far by Greg Lai (‘88), Thomas Antunez (‘05), Jacquie Warren, Lisa and Mark Locklear (both ‘84), Paula Milano (‘80 and past chair of the DLC), Pam Adams (‘98), and David Young (‘91). TheDLCenjoyedmanysuccessfuleventslastacademic year, and many more events are planned for this year: Sneak Peek of Renaissance Sport Club – July 2008 DLC Classroom Dedication – September 2008 Annual “Fall Insider’s View” – October 2008 VIP Receptions in conjunction with the annual Distinguished Speaker Series – November 2008 through May 2009 Annual Holiday Celebration hosted by Neiman Marcus – December 2008 Annual reception with the Dean’s Advisory Board – May 2009 Membership can make the difference. The Dean’s Leadership Circle is the premier support group of The Paul Merage School of Business. This high-powered network is made up of successful alumni, business leaders, faculty, staff, and friends of UC Irvine and the Merage School. Members receive many benefits and are kept up-to-date through exclusive events and communications and are also given the opportunity to share their thoughts and recommendations with the Dean, faculty, and administration.
