Robinson Cosponsors Best of Business;
Giuliani Guest Speaker
For the second consecutive year, the Robinson College was one of
the sponsors of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Georgia 100 Best
of Business breakfast. This year the event was held May 18 at the
Grand Hyatt in Buckhead and featured as guest speaker former
New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. The mayor discussed his new book,
Leadership, and also relayed stories from his term in office, including
the harrowing moments surrounding 9/11, New York’s major power
blackout, and how he spearheaded the move that substantially
reduced crime in the nation’s largest city. The AJC is also the media
sponsor for RCB’s Business Hall of Fame.
Investing 101
First-time mutual fund investors face a mind-boggling array of choices, says the Associated Press. To help
demystify things, they talked to Conrad Ciccotello, associate professor and director of Robinson’s Graduate
Personal Financial Planning (PFP) programs. According to Ciccotello, "All funds have operating expenses such
as advisory fees, administrative expenses, and so on. When you’re getting star ted, you may be better off with
a broad, passively managed fund that captures the total stock market."
Business Ball of Fame Recognizes Atlanta
Mayor, Georgia Business Leaders
Three of Georgia’s most recognized leaders were inducted into
Georgia State University’s Business Hall of Fame in a ceremony held
at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Buckhead. Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin;
Michael Eskew, chairman and chief executive officer for UPS; and
Jere Drummond, retired vice chairman of BellSouth Corporation,
were honored at the dinner. John Portman, chairman of the board
and founder of John Portman & Associates, Inc; Sam Williams,
president of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; and John
Aderhold, chairman, Aderhold Properties, are just a few of those
who were on hand for the event. Georgia State’s Robinson College
Business Hall of Fame provides the highest recognition given
by the college to business leaders for their efforts in advancing
the principles of the free market system while serving Atlanta’s
national and international business communities.
