UCLA Anderson Alumni Association and Career Center Testimonials This is the third year we have co-sponsored the Experienced Alumni Recruitment & Career Conference with seasonedPRO, and it was the best yet! The event is wonderfully targeted to our more experienced alumni, and provides a career resource of real value to them. The speakers and topics were wonderfully practical, including those held on the first day in conjunction with the Meet Your Next Employer recruitment roundtable event. The speakers were consistently high quality and participants were very pleased with their experience. The beauty of this partnership is that seasonedPRO does all the leg work to organize and hold the conference, and we get the benefit of providing an excellent career resource to our alums that we ourselves would not have the ability or the resources to execute internally. We look forward to an even more successful conference next year and to continuing our partnership with seasonedPRO! Susan Dearing Associate Director, EMBA & Alumni Career Services UCLA Anderson School of Management The recent seasonedPRO conference went very well for us, and this is the third time we have done it. Bob Pettit Director, Alumni Relations UCLA Anderson School of Management

First Produced At University of California at Los Angeles Anderson School of Management

In 2004, the UCLA Anderson School of Management asked seasonedPRO (a division of HRMS) to create and produce an experienced alumni conference. In 2006, we expanded the format to two days and extended the marketing to include the entire UCLA alumni database.

Our most recent UCLA conference brought together 400 alumni and 25 prominent employers and sponsors listening to and interacting with expert speakers covering a wide range of career management, career development, and career transition topics. An executive summary of the UCLA conference can be viewed here.
