Member Quotes about the Value of the Organization
“The Management Association is a great way to develop your networking skills and become involved in activities both at school and outside of school.”
—Corey J. Berkey
“The way Management Association presents the club is like a business. They show members how businesses function in real corporations by presenting the executive board as top management and the members as managers of the organization. We discuss upcoming fundraisers, community service, and activities. This has given me the opportunity to practice management skills by collaborating and implementing ideas into action.”
—Maureen Field
