2004-05 directory listing can help your program
It’s now more important than ever to complete the Executive MBA Council Program Survey.

That's because after July 1, 2004, only members who complete the survey will be listed in the Executive MBA Council Program Directory, available online. And that listing can bolster your student recruitment efforts.

The council web site receives approximately 350 web visitors per day and more than 85 percent of the visitors are prospective students. Most student visitors use the Visitor Search Features to locate programs based on self-selected criteria in the Executive MBA Council Program Directory.

Best of all, it is easy to complete the program survey and renew your council membership:

STEP 1
Visit your research portal, available online at the council web site, www.embac.org

STEP 2
Download a printed copy of your directory listing before completing your survey so you have a copy of all information; the survey’s first page allows you to download a copy of your listing in MS Word

STEP 3
Review the information that you submitted for the 2004 Program Survey

 
   

STEP 4
Update the information and answer new questions on faculty, classroom technology, student services, and international trips; you will be able to review and update all program listings for your school

By participating, you will receive a free copy of the 2004 Program Survey Report and one free listing for your flagship program in the Executive MBA Council Program Directory, available online. You will also have the option of listing your other programs at a cost of $250 for each additional program.

Council welcomes new research partner
In May, the Executive MBA Council transferred management of the Student Exit and Program Surveys to the market research firm, Percept Research, for a higher level of quality and responsiveness. Percept Research has strong familiarity with our industry and Brian Mahoney, who has worked with the council for many years, leads account management at the firm.

Percept Research has committed to focusing on council needs and ensuring a transparent transition. The research portals and survey processes will remain the same.

Executive MBA Marketing and Admissions Program set for April 3-6, 2005
Save the date now for next year’s Marketing and Admissions Program, set for April 3-6, 2005, at the Georgetown University Conference Center in Washington, D.C.

This intensive, three-day program focuses on positioning, branding, and competitive marketing analysis. It also covers admissions issues, including corporate sponsor management, the GMAT, financing, interviewing, and the selection process to name a few.

The popular program offers an opportunity to spend time with people who really understand what you do—people who share your passion for executive education, who grapple with the same issues, and who perhaps have solutions to some of your most difficult marketing and recruiting challenges.

Registration for the Executive MBA Marketing and Admissions Program will begin Dec. 1, 2004 at http://www.gmac.com/gmac/CareerDevelopment.
