guide to world domination or how to succeed in a complex world

things you need in order to succeed in a complex world!
Mr. Samuels is the executive vice president at Kimmel and Associates. He has a
BS in Communications from Southern Illinois University. He is the president of
toastmasters club “THE TALKING HEADS”, the past President of Kimmel Worldwide

AB Tech Campus
Please join the Student Management Association in participating in this great event that is being hosted by Eblen-Kimmel Charities. As students of UNC-Asheville, it is important that we partake in these great opportunities to be more involved in our community and help those in need.
The SMA will have a team walking in this event. Awards will be given out to the teams that have the most members and to the teams that raise the most money through sponsorships. So, we would really love to have you join our team!
This is going to be an excellent opportunity for SMA members and other UNC-Asheville students to get out, get involved, and give back to our local community!
Please let an SMA officer know if you have any questions. As well, students that live on campus may email an SMA officer if they need a ride to the event, and we will coordinate that with you.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!!!
