What’s going on, everyone. Y’all know that I like to do whatever I can to look out for my fellow Stanford GSB alums/students, right? Well, this is another entry to do just that…
The email below is from the Director of Recruitment for The Broad Residency in Urban Education, which is a fantastic program that places business professionals into leadership positions in America’s educational system (both at the local and national level). It just so happens that the Director of Recruitment is a GSB alum and, when he asked me to spread the word about his program, I just HAD to do it. Aside from the fact that he’s a fellow GSBer, I’m a true believer in what the Broad Residency is doing to bring much-needed skills into the realm of education.
I’m not sure how they found out about me as someone to spread the word, but I think it’s safe to say that I’ve got a pretty extensive reach when it comes to getting the word out to people 🙂 Check out the email below for the basics and feel free to visit their website for additional information if you’re interested in a position with the organization.

Dear Marquis ,
I am currently the Director of Recruitment for The Broad Residency in Urban Education. It is a nationwide program that places business professionals with graduate degrees (including 10 graduates of the GSB) into full-time management positions in school districts, charter management organizations, and the US Dept of Education. Broad Residents report to superintendents or top cabinet members and lead management projects which improve the education of all American children. They receive starting salaries of $85-$95K, two years of professional development and access to a nationwide network of education leaders. Experience in the education industry is not required.
Here is a link to a recent article on the program in US News and World Report: http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/2009/08/21/a-new-path-to-a-career-in-education.html?PageNr=1
We are constantly trying to raise awareness of this opportunity. Do you know someone who would be interested? Can you forward this email through your own network?
Thanks in advance for spreading the word.

Hey Marquis, very cool post. At the National Black MBA conference this year, I actually went to a reception with Education Pioneers, The Broad Residency, and the Gates Foundation. I was very impressed with the folks from Broad and agree that their organization is doing some incredible things.
