2009 Autumn Update

DEN Chicago had its first Networking Event of its inaugural year on October 29, 2009 at the Hyatt Chicago.  Amid thousands of other convention attendees congregating at the Hyatt Big Bar, approximately 25 people in the extended Dartmouth family came together to get to know one another and exchange ideas.  Many entrepreneurs with medical-related ventures were in attendance, as well as real estate, finance, conservation, and internet marketing. Everyone exchanged business cards initiating several new potential business relationships.

DEN Chicago has also put forward a new executive committee, which is still growing, and is being led by the following new officers:  President, Kate Sackman (Dartmouth '82), Vice Presidents, Alex Stojanovic (DMS '04) and Sean Harte (Tuck '91), Secretary, Kathy Bridges (Parent '10).  More people have expressed interest and are being  added to this group.

DEN Chicago Kickoff Event

DEN Chicago kicked off in style with an event on January 14th at Mesirow Financial's Conference Center, hosted by Sean P. Harte, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Mesirow Financial Commodities Management. Professor Gregg Fairbrothers D'76, Founding Director of the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network and Adjunct Professor of Business Administration at the Tuck School of Business,  flew out for the Windy City's kick off event. After an hour of networking, Gregg presented an informative session on DEN and its impact on the Dartmouth community. Thanks to Gregg for making it out during a sever bout of Chicago weather! In the face of dreadful conditions, DEN Chicago kicked off with nearly 50 alumni in attendance.
