Plan an Event in Your Region

The Simmons School of Management Alumnae Association encourages alumnae to network in their regions.  To support this and to maximize the number of events that occur, the SOMAA general practice is to offer a financial subsidy (rather than underwriting the entire cost) for alumnae-organized events.  However, the SOMAA is willing to fully underwrite the cost of regional "kick-off" events - the first event in any region to bring local alumnae together.
