Thanks Holly,

 

Would it be possible to have as much final detail (including the room number) as possible by next Wednesday? The delegation is leaving shortly thereafter (they travel to Washington and New York before coming to Chicago and I would like to get them as much info before they depart as possible.

 

We greatly appreciate all you are doing. Sorry the Dean will not be around but please thank him again for hosting this group.

 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

 

Best,

 

Bob

 

 

 

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your e-mail. I will confirm with Austan and Steve that the info below is correct and if they have any pre-read material.

Madhav will be traveling on the 12^th, so I will let you know who will do intros and moderate. Arranging a tour and a place for the bus won’t be a problem at all.

I’ll be back in touch with more info when I have it to share.

Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Holly

 

 

Hi Holly,

 

I hope you have been well since the phone call with Deputy Consul General Itay Milner.

 

I am just following up with you to go over some details regarding the program at Booth on June 12th for the delegation of IDF officers.

 

·         This is the how the agenda item on their schedule currently appears, complete with links to the faculty bios of Professors Goolsbee and Kaplan.

 

11:00 am-1:00 pm      U. of Chicago, Booth School of Business. Charles M. Harper Center. 5807 S. Woodlawn Ave. Room TBD

Presentations by Professors Austan Goolsbee and Steven Kaplan.

Topics: Goolsbee: “Forecasts for US Economy based on President Trump’s domestic and foreign economic policies”;

Kaplan: “Characteristics that make a successful CEO/leader”.

Contact: Holly Stauffer, EA to Dean Rajan. Tel: (773) 702-6680; Holly.Stauffer@chicagobooth.edu .

 

·         Are the topics accurate as the Professors plan to present  them?

 

·         If the Professors have written any brief articles on these topics that might enhance the officers’ understanding of their presentations, they are welcome to suggest and forward links to them.

 

·         Who will be introducing the presenters and moderating the Q&A? Dean Rajan? Someone else?

 

·         After the presentations, would there be someone available to give the delegation a brief tour of the main Quads after the meeting and before they go to Hillel? They are due at Hillel by 1:30 pm where they will have lunch.

 

·         Also, they will need a designated space for their bus to wait for both the Booth meeting and Hillel. We would appreciate

 

Itay and I would be happy to discuss any and all of these points with you. I have also copies Rebecca Gold who is our Academic Affairs Director and will also be with the delegation.

 

Thanks for your assistance!

 

Best,

 

Bob
