Three Special Programs Highlight ASM’s Executive Speakers Series in November

The Robert O. Anderson School and Graduate Schools of Management (ASM) will open its doors to the public on Tuesday, Nov. 6, as scientist turned entrepreneur Dr. Roger Jones, CEO of Complexica, speaks on “The History of Informatics in Northern New Mexico.” According to Jones, informatics in New Mexico is less than a decade old, yet the companies here are generating significant innovations in the marketplace. He will be speaking in ASM’s Room 1017 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Later in the month The Anderson Schools of Management is bringing Rick Farrell from the New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership. Farrell will present a talk on “Lean Manufacturing and Value Stream Mapping,” on Tuesday, Nov. 20 in ASM’s Room 1064 from 4 – 5:15 p.m.

The last of the November Executive Speakers Series at ASM will be on Thursday, Nov. 29 as Patricia Jerabek, a senior consultant with Ibis Consulting Group and executive director of the Diversity Leadership Council in New Mexico, talks on “Diversity Implementation Issues.” Jerabek will give her talk in ASM Room 1068 from 9:45 – 10:45 a.m. and again from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Last year, The Robert O. Anderson School and Graduate Schools of Management launched The Executive Speaker Series, which brings noted speakers into the classroom for various topical lectures.

“The Executive Speakers Series is an important way for us to share the resources of The Anderson Schools with business leaders in the community interested in staying in touch with the latest issues,” said Howard L. Smith, Dean. “I am very pleased to see our classrooms opening for the free exchange of ideas in business.”
