February Speaker

By Karen Havener

On Monday, February 7, Chris Hayden spoke about Primerica. Primerica was originally a manufacturing company and now is a member of Citigroup which has expanded its market share to 1.5% by purchasing financial companies. The company helps the customers pay off debt while increasing funds for retirement. They also help their clients increase income and decrease expenses. Chris’ presentation was very good. Financial training and job opportunities available with the company were also discussed.


Technical Meeting

The February technical meeting was at Hoof-n-Horn with prime rib served. The food was great not to mention the speaker. Mary Scott from Northwest Missouri State University was there to speak about their Master of Business Administration program that will be offered at Missouri Western State University. Mary discussed some of the requirements for the new program and told us that there will be live instructors from both Northwest and Missouri Western. In the past there have just been instructors from Northwest. The program has been improved and both schools feel that it will be a success. If you would like more information about the program, contact Bill Huffman in the Business and Economics department at Missouri Western. Four students attended from the IMA student chapter.

By Mike Young

Hi! I'm Michael Justin Young. I was born April 9, 1976. Close to the time of Star Wars: A New Hope's first release. I am pursuing a career in Computer Information Systems. I would like to work and continue to go to college for the rest of my life. I have many dreams like owning a horse ranch in Montana and singing in a small town underground rock band. I am a Computer Information System major. I have two minors. Strangely, they are General Business and Health and Wellness. I joined IMA for the professional relationships it builds and the extreme resume builder.
