Media Education The Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM) was an international organization with members all over the world. This provided a vast network for job references and professional contacts. This gave opportunities for many excellent speakers to attend a national convention which was held every year. The purpose of SAM was to promote the excellence of management which allowed students an opportunity to practice and to improve their leadership skills and to gain exposure to social business people. The members of SAM sponsored three workshops, resume, interview and Wal ~ Mart recruiting, in the fall . They had Alan Belamy, retired owner of the Mad Butcher , speak to the group. SAM took two field trips during the year. They visited the nuclear power plant near Russellville and went to the Bookshire Inc. recruiting workshop. Tim Johnson , the President of SAM, stated "We would like to improve our man~ agement skills by learning to work with people and organize meetings and tours. We also are in the process of helping reor~ ganize SAM National campus chapters.~ In its first year at Harding, The Marketing Club built a foundation for those interested in the field of marketing. Although the club mainly consisted of marketing majors, other business majors were encouraged to contribute. The club was formed to provide opportunities for each member to expand his knowledge of marketing and to prepare for a career in marketing. Chartered by approximately 75 members, the club set out to focus on the needs of those interested in marketing. Several committees were set up to delegate the responsibilities so that more students could be involved with the club. Some of the committees that were formed were: publicity, programs and member~ ship . Speakers from every field of marketing were brought in to enlighten students on the day to day activities of business. Topics that were discussed included retail, re~ search, industrial, sales and recruitment. Some of the speakers included Kenneth Breeden of Arkansas Power & Light, Sam Chaifin from Action Material Handling, Bobbie Monahan of Executive Recruiters and Vicki Bo·neer, Vice President of M.M. Cohn. The group considered obtaining national affiliation in the next few years. f~ Society for the Advancement of Management Marketing Club S~ciety for the Advancement oj Management. Front row: D.
