1. International Chapters
Launched
The Association has members in 88 countries around the world.
In order to harness the power of this global network and strengthen our
international connections we are launching a new initiative that will
link influential business leaders worldwide.
The
International Chapters of the Association of MBAs will allow our
members based outside of the UK to network more effectively in their own
countries, inform members about local events, and post relevant news and
information to a dedicated area of our website.
We are now encouraging active members of the Association of MBAs to
become Chapter Chairs in their respective countries. Being appointed as a
Chapter Chair offers you exceptional profile raising opportunities, both
regionally and internationally, and ensures you are a key part of the
Association’s ongoing international membership operations.
A pilot Chapter, the UAE
Chapter of the Association of MBAs, has already been launched. You
can view it by clicking the link below.

If you are interested in becoming a Chapter Chair for your country,
please contact Praveen Mahadani, Membership Development Director at p.mahadani@mbaworld.com to
register your interest.

3. Career Development
The Career
Development section of our website gives members access to executive
careers articles on a range of topics. We've picked out a couple of these
that we think might be of interest:
- How
to Get More from Your Mentor
A mentor can prove invaluable when it comes to providing insight
into your organization, inside information about the politics of the
place, or just some over-the-shoulder advice about who to work with
and who to stay away from.

6. Oxford Business Debate 2009
We are delighted to announce that two new high-profile speakers have been
signed up for the Oxford Business Debate taking place on Thursday, 15
October 2009 at Saïd Business School.
Philip Delves Broughton
Journalist and Author
Philip Delves Broughton made a well known switch in his career – from
Daily Telegraph journalist covering the 9/11 attacks in New York, then
Paris correspondent, to Harvard MBA student. But his bold move
didn’t quite turn out as he expected. He wrote about his experiences in a
book bye-lined ‘My two years inside the cauldron of capitalism’.
Philip has returned to writing – but with new and challenging insights
into the business world.
Victoria Lennox
Founder of NACUE
A Canadian-born graduate from Oxford University, Victoria Lennox leads
the UK movement for young entrepreneurs, having founded the National
Consortium of University Entrepreneurs (NACUE). NACUE supports over
80 universities, 55 enterprise societies and 30,000 enterprising
graduates.
Victoria is the former President of Oxford Entrepreneurs (2008–09), has a
multi-sectoral background in entrepreneurship, governance and policy in
the UK, Canada, China and Ghana, and has been profiled in The
Spectator as a rising star and one of their recognized top 25 under
25.
Philip and Victoria join Colin Mayer, the Dean of Saïd Business School,
Phil Walker, the COO of CapGemini in London, and Professor Ken Starkey of
Nottingham University Business School.
The evening is being chaired by Chris Russell of the Thames Valley region
of the Association of MBAs.
