Noelle Hits the Books for Members
The Club’s Director of Sales, Noelle Kauffman, has been accepted into the Executive Master of Business Administration degree program at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
“Serving Members is my utmost goal, and this EMBA will give me smarter and more advanced and powerful ways to do that,” Noelle says. “I can’t wait to use my continuing development to bring even more value to Club Members.”
Noelle’s EMBA coursework will be completed mostly at Michigan Ross’s Los Angeles campus, with occasional trips to Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Michigan Ross is considered among the top global business schools.
Commitment to Excellence
The Executive MBA – a step above the already elevated MBA – is for those in senior management roles with a focus on strategic planning and leadership; who strive to enhance their executive skills while balancing work, study and personal life; who aim to deliver an immediate impact in their organizations while preparing for advancement; and who bring their expertise to dynamic classroom discussions and collaborative projects.
