CEOs need to divide up the parts of the written business plan in the link in previous post. Send me an email with a list of assignments for each of the written business plan.

CFOs had been given their assignments for today. Accounting department should help them complete the assignment so I K and Lilianna can work on the presentation for next week.

Bianca IK and Marcos need to prepare the presentation for tomorrow.

Oh baby and Andrea need to photocopy the Carpe invoices from last year so we can collect from them. They should be in the drawer next to the area where I sit.

Reubén and Marcos should do the creative suite tutorial at the big mac.

COOs should go over the VE tasks from the previous list to make sure that they are completed.

The rest of year will be assigned tasks to write on the written business plan.

I will stay after tomorrow for SAT prep.

Everyone should be prepared to stay on Monday to work on the written business plan we will be staying for a few hours and if we are productive, I will buy food, probably pizza.

VOLUNTEERS WHO SIGNED UP:
1.) M ARAUJO
2.) A AHMED
3.) D DURAN
4.) A GUZMAN
5.) J AHMED

ANYONE ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED, WITH A STRONG INTEREST IN A CAREER IN MARKETING AND ADVERTISING, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AT: mr.filipinas@gmail.com 

For the past six years, a number of schools in the Virtual Enterprise program participated in “Advertising Futures,” an activity that brought major Madison Avenue advertising agencies and classes together to create an advertising campaign that was part of the broader week-long celebration of the advertising and media industries entitled “Advertising Week.”  

For 2011, we will again expand on this outstanding applied learning activity. For your reference, Advertising Week 2011 is scheduled from October 3-7, and you may look at www.advertisingweek.com to learn more about “The Week.”

In consideration of the above, we would like to invite your VE coordinator, along with five students who are enrolled in your fall VE program, to meet their advertising agency mentors at a welcome kick-off ceremony, which will be held on                        Wednesday, September 14 at 1:45 p.m. at BB King’s, 237 West 42^nd Street (between 7^th and 8^th Avenues), New York City.  During this time, the group will be briefed on the particulars of the 2011 Advertising Futures program and competition.  The students will then be matched with their advertising agency mentors to plan schedules to execute their assignment as preparation for the competition, which will take place on Wednesday, October 5 (location TBA) at 1:30 p.m.  The winning ads will run in The New York Times and the participating schools and ad agencies will be credited.

From our experience in past years, this is a wonderful program with an established track record of success. As a result of their involvement with our students, many of the advertising agency mentors remained partners to the program and to the school throughout the entire year.

We look forward to seeing your VE coordinators and students on Wednesday, September 14. 

Thank you for your support of the VE Program in your school.  We look forward to working with you in 2011-12 on what I know will be a very productive school year. 

Best,

Iris
