As in Indiana University Kelley School of Business.  I went there for graduate school.  Graduated even.  Back then the Kelley guy had not ponied up to put his name on the school. 

Right now they are looking for someone to put their name on the undergrad building.  I am pulling for Mark Cuban to do that (he went there too and graduated) and buy the Cubs.

This summer, I started serving on the board of the Kelley School of Business Alumni Association.  I needed something to do after being on the board of The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center for six, really seven, years (I have a bunch of bizarre books (they gave me the entire collection for some work I did with Nexus Press) and a keener sense of contemporary art for that effort (the Kokomo Kid and I like Contemporary Realism)).

I digress.

At my first Kelley SOB board meeting I was placed on both the marketing and libations committees.

To my delight Professor of Marketing Tom Hustad is one of the leaders of the marketing committee.  Tom is a guru in the area of new product development and a great prof on the subject.  However, the most amazing thing to me was that he remembered me on sight by name and I am confident that he would do so with many of his former students.

Well Tom (I can call him that now), has put together this little thing called the Indiana University Brand Leadership Conference.  They have some marketing rock stars coming in (all Kelley grads) to speak.  So if you happen to be in the Midwest mid September this will be interesting.

And for the libations committee?  Well for that I was reintroduced to Sink the Bismarck at Nick’s
