Welcome to the Dallas Business Club! This is an association of MBA alumni chapters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that represent some 22 elite international and local MBA institutions. The primary mission of the DBC is to provide a forum for personal and career development and social interaction of its eligible alumni. The DBC also supports alumni involvement in the Dallas Fort Worth non-profit community.

The DBC is an expanded plaftorm for quality networking and sharing of each individual chapter's "best practices" among a peer group of like-minded MBAs. The total number of alumni in Dallas-Fort Worth that are eligible to participate in our programs exceeds 30,000.

Please take a moment to look over the Past Events and Upcoming Events through 2010. You will find plans for speakers and panels, social mixers, parties, special offers from clubs and theaters and a challenging golf tournament. Be sure to read "Alumni Benefits" under Registration and consider the Inner Circle Membership. The Officers and Committee Members that have volunteered many hours of their time to make this happen are found under the "Officers and Committees" tab. If your chapter leaders are listed, please take a moment and thank them because their efforts have been considerable.

Be sure to opt "IN" for the eNewsletter under your profile. Your participation as a registered alumnus is key to our community's continued success. Quite simply, without you this concept will not work! Graduation from one of the member MBA institutions is the only criteria for eligibility. The DBC charges no dues and accepts no donation from any of the individual schools. Instead, we are supported by Strategic Partners, fund-raisers and private donations. The funds are used to host events and provide membership services throughout the year. Although we distribute event notices through the alumni offices of member schools, alumni who have registered here directly will be on the front line of information. You will receive announcements of events, mixers and special opportunities directly from us, weeks before you hear about them by any other means.

The Inner Circle Membership will take your benefits to another level entirely. This non-voting membership entitles the holder to special pricing or even free tickets at certain fine-arts facilities, sporting events and private clubs, plus a $10 discount to all marquee events. Occasionally, very short notice of visiting business or political leaders will be made known only to the Inner Circle.

The Officers and Directors of the Dallas Business Club want to welcome you and look forward to further strengthing our alumni clubs and the network!

Best regards,
Jeff King (Kellogg), President
The Dallas Business Club
