Corporate Leadership Council
The Corporate Leadership Council (CLC) is a group of 22 high-potential students who are majoring in disciplines across the College of Business Administration. One of the goals of the CLC is to provide additional opportunities for CLC members to hear from, and network with, business professionals. The Corporate Leadership Council is a program for high achieving students to engage in leadership activities throughout their college career. Through funding from Wachovia, UPS, Watkins Real Estate, the Carter Family, and Citi, we are able to offer partial scholarships to students who are expected to represent COBA in various service roles and attend leadership programs throughout the year.
In October the CLC heard an interesting and informative presentation from Tom Hughes, CEO and owner of National Electronic Attachments (NEA), a firm that assists medical care providers and patients in connecting with insurers. The company has been highly successful, holding over 95% of the US market share in their industry. Mr. Hughes’ stories about his own business successes were interesting and provided a good backdrop for the career advice he provided students. Mr. Hughes’ suggestion that students continuously read business publications was backed up with action, as he brought a variety of current business books and gave one to each student. After his presentation, students enjoyed a question and answer session and had an opportunity to talk with him after the session.
