Cost: $20 Register at http://www.acteva.com/go/haas-sea. 6:00pm-6:30pm: Mingle and Mixer 6:30pm-7:30pm: Dialogue with Steve Etter and Q/A 7:30pm-8:00pm: Mingle and Mixer Stephen Etter visits Seattle Haas Alumni Network to discuss implications of the current environment to participants in the middle market private equity arena. He will combine his professorial work at Haas with his every day experience as a partner in Greyrock, a junior capital/private equity fund. Stephen will take the audience through the stakeholders involved in the world of private equity including: a) institutional investors (family offices, university endowments, insurance companies), b) the private equity fund managers, c) the financial service providers to the industry (banks, finance companies, accountants & lawyers), and d) the operating companies invested in by the private equity funds. The event should be fun and entertaining if his teaching reviews are any indication of what to expect. He is outspoken and opinionated which should service as a great back drop for lively discussions. Afterwards there will be an open session for questions about Haas - the State of Haas with its new Dean, the student population, the direction of the School, and student-athlete questions (Stephen also serves as a Faculty Fellow to Cal Football, Men's Water Polo and Women's Basketball). Stephen Etter is an active alum of Cal. He has been a Lecturer of Corporate Finance for the past 14 years, teaching UGBA 131 Corporate Finance for 28 consecutive semesters. He has twice received the Earl F. Cheit Teacher of the Year Award, the Haas Cal Award in recognition of his Exceptional Contribution by an Adjunct Professor and gave the Haas commencement address in 2007.

Location: Hyatt Regency
MIT Presents:
Technology Sales in China
Bumps, Bruises and Breakthrough Decisions
May 17, 2006
According to the Washington Post, trade with China was worth more than $20 billion last year to Washington State. In his recent meeting with Governor Christine Gregoire, Chinese President Hu said he did not choose to visit Seattle simply because it is the closest major U.S. city to China. "It is also because your state enjoys very good cooperative relations with my country," he said.
Whether it’s manufacturing or marketing, NW companies are among the first in the US to break into the Chinese market. Beyond the headlines and huge deals with Boeing and Microsoft, China is also shaking hands with a host of small and mid-size technology firms producing everything from device programmers to software. Successful deals are often the product of a complex courtship played out on a vast stage with numerous acts.
On May 17th, we will explore how several mid-size NW companies are bringing their products to market in this complicated environment. Our presenters and panelists will share their personal experiences developing a presence in China, including the wrong turns, U-turns and turning points.

The Harvard Business School Club of Puget Sound presents: A Night at the Theater featuring RESTORATION COMEDY "A bawdy romp of disguise and deception" A World Premiere Play by Award-Winning Playwright Amy Freed ("The Beard of Avon") Pre-Show Discussion with Seattle Repertory Theatre's New Artistic Director, The Award-Winning Director and Producer, David Esbjornson Last day to register: Wednesday, December 7th. 6pm: Private Reception 6:30pm: A Conversation with David Esbjornson 7:30pm: Production of Restoration Comedy COST: Members Before November 30th 2005: $50 per person Non Members Before November 30th 2005: $55 per person Late Registration Members and Non-Members: $60 per person A Special Note for Seattle Rep Season Ticket Holders: you may exchange your season tickets for tickets within the HBSPS grouping.

To sign up for the event, visit the following link: http://www.hbsps.com/Calendar/eventdetails.asp?EventID=179 HBS Alumni and Guests are invited to a special evening at the theater! This event is also open to Seattle Business School Alliance member schools. We will enjoy wine, hors d'oeuvres and good company before the show, as Seattle Rep's Artistic Director shares with us the process for putting together a season, the highs and lows of introducing new plays to the stage, and general insights on producing and directing live theater. Q&A will follow. After hearing David's insights, we will then be entertained by a lively and comic production of RESTORATION COMEDY, making its debut at the Rep. ABOUT THE PLAY Their names are Loveless, Lord Foppington, Sir Novelty Fashion, Worthy, Hoyden—and they are just what you’d expect them to be. Playing games with each others loves, lives, and livelihoods is their one delightfully wicked occupation. Playwright Amy Freed (The Beard of Avon) has stayed true to late-17th-century style (inspired by Vanbrugh’s The Relapse and Cibber’s Love’s Last Shift) to create the naughty romp that is Restoration Comedy—a perfect antidote to traditional holiday fare! WHY YOU SHOULD SEE THIS PLAY The Restoration was marked by lavish style: opulence and decadence were the order of the day. Restoration Comedy will embody this gorgeous period of dress and style with costumes designed by Anna Oliver (The Beard of Avon, The Constant Wife). With Hugh Landwehr as scenic designer (Anna in the Tropics, A Midsummer Night's Dream) and lighting design by Peter Maradudin (Anna in the Tropics, Beauty of the Father), this production promises a sumptuous visual feast. Restoration Comedy will also star favorite Seattle Rep actors Laurence Ballard, Suzanne Bouchard, Bhama Roget, and others. ABOUT DAVID ESBJORNSON David Esbjornson is an award-winning director and producer who has worked throughout the United States in regional theatres and on Broadway, and has established strong and productive relationships with some of the profession's top playwrights, actors, and companies. For seven years (1992-1999) he was artistic director of New York's Classic Stage Company, and since leaving that post he has become one of country's most sought after freelance directors. With a list of production credits steeped in the classics from those years at CSC and as a guest director in such leading regional theatres as the Guthrie Theater, David has also established himself as an interpreter of choice for playwrights such as Tony Kushner, Edward Albee, and Arthur Miller. "If there is a hallmark of Esbjornson's work," wrote the Village Voice, "...it's been (his) collaboration with adventuresome writers." Among the world premieres to David's credit are the first production of Tony Kushner's Angels in America: Millennium Approaches, and the first staged presentation of Perestroika, both at the Eureka Theatre in San Francisco, which

Alumni Reception with Dr. Peter Boatwright on Managing Creativity to Achieve Pragmatic Innovation
Event Date: 9/15/2005 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Location: Microsoft Corporation,Main Campus Building #34, Quinalt Room
Speaker: Peter Boatwright, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Marketing at the Tepper School of Business
You are invited to mark your calendar to join us on Thursday, September 15, 2005 for a special alumni reception and presentation by Dr. Peter Boatwright on Managing Creativity to Achieve Pragmatic Innovation. It will be held at the Microsoft campus in Redmond in the Quinalt Room in Building #34. The networking reception will be from 5:30-7:00 p.m. with the talk beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Peter Boatwright, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Marketing at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. He is an author of the new book, The Design of Things to Come: How Ordinary People Create Extraordinary Products, (co-authored with Jonathan Cagan and Craig M. Vogel). In his talk he will discuss how the next opportunity for a competitive edge is to be found in creating products that are more innovative than those of the competition. The most important issues are how to produce innovation and how to repeatedly generate innovative products. Innovation is the flower of diligent work - work that uncovers the potential that a product can achieve for its users, producing comprehensive solutions that consumers respond to emotionally, cognitively, and then economically. They involve procedures that can be learned, used, and adopted by anyone. Anyone, at least, who is willing to intelligently take the uncertainty head on, to risk and endure failure in the disciplined quest for a brilliant product or service.
All Carnegie Mellon alumni and their guests are invited to attend. The registration charge for the presentation and reception is $10.00 and must be paid in advance online at: www.tepper.cmu.edu/alumni/sea.
Attire in business casual.
Our sincere appreciation to Microsoft for hosting the presentation for us and for the Office of Alumni Relations at the Tepper School for sponsoring the refreshments. We are grateful for the strong corporate partners who support the academic mission of Carnegie Mellon University and the Tepper School of Business.
