After considering all candidates, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1319594530_3" style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Annette&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;  was chosen by the university administration and faculty for her  outstanding performance as student in the MBA Hybrid program. After  graduating with a Masters in Business Administration from California  Miramar University, Annette Gregg has become the Sr. Director of Global  Marketing and Communications for Project Concern International. This new  position brings immense responsibility leading marketing and  communications for a global non-profit with 600 employees and $50M  annual budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Annette stated, “After completing my MBA at California Miramar  University, I was better prepared for my new position managing global  marketing and communications for an organization operating in 16  countries.  I am tasked with bringing enterprise-wide solutions to our  growing company, and raising global awareness of our live-saving  programs.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Annette has turned her personal passion for helping others into a  career with an organization that does life-saving work in 16 countries.  Annette concluded that one of the most influential class at CMU was &lt;a href="http://www.calmu.edu/main-navigation/academics/graduate/mba-international-business/" target="_blank" title="MBA International Business"&gt;MBA International Business&lt;/a&gt;.   She researched and wrote a paper on micro-finance programs in  developing countries, exposing solutions for global poverty.  Her MBA  education and passion for helping others led directly to her finding her  current position with PCI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;At age 30, Annette became the youngest senior executive in the  history of the Los Angeles Convention Center, managing all event  operations and a team of over 200.  She then went onto run two  companies--a global event management firm, and a destination marketing  organization for a world-renowned resort destination. Completing her MBA  at CMU helped define the next phase of her career and prepare her for  leadership within a global organization.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1320267788244316"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;California Miramar University is dually accredited  by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS)  and the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).

Each week, the award-winning San Diego Business Journal examines the many ways that the San Diego economy operates. A widely read feature in the San Diego Business Journal, "The List", ranks the top businesses in any given industry. The San Diego MBA Schools List includes &lt;a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=BiwlR&amp;amp;m=3aAb6Cyl2lxXkgN&amp;amp;b=VOFDh9kh1A8pLr7cZl4ZOw" target="_blank" title=""&gt;MBA Hybrid programs, MBA online program&lt;/a&gt;s and MBA on campus programs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California Miramar University's School of Business &amp;amp; Management is proud to be included in &lt;a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=BiwlR&amp;amp;m=3aAb6Cyl2lxXkgN&amp;amp;b=c19eBMm.gxEcSF8YRhKoTQ" target="_blank" title=""&gt;"The List" of top 10 MBA Schools in San Diego County&lt;/a&gt;. Topping the list was National University (#1) and San Diego State University (#2). One notable difference between the schools listed is the cost of tuition.

Insight into the strategic planning process for a company has established my value as a reliable vendor that supports the businesses that I work with." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MBA students select an area of emphasis: Business Administration, International Business, Finance, Health Care Management, Marketing, or Technology Management. &lt;b&gt;The MBA Hybrid accepts applications year-round and new classes start every 8 weeks. &lt;/b&gt;Visit CMU online &lt;a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=BiwlR&amp;amp;m=3aAb6Cyl2lxXkgN&amp;amp;b=R_Lj0mR7p91.k3LzI10g5w" target="_blank" title=""&gt;http://www.calmu.edu&lt;/a&gt; or call the Office of Admissions for more information 858-653-3000 x120.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr style="height: 10.5pt;"&gt;&lt;td style="height: 10.5pt; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" id="_x0000_i1025" src="http://www.aweber.com/img/templates/12a/break.gif" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/708010203212800946-4387122212255173473?l=cmualumninews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cmualumninews.blogspot.com/feeds/4387122212255173473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=708010203212800946&amp;postID=4387122212255173473' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/708010203212800946/posts/default/4387122212255173473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/708010203212800946/posts/default/4387122212255173473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cmualumninews.blogspot.com/2011/08/california-miramar-university-joins_25.html' title='California Miramar University Joins                                      “The List” of Top 10 MBA Schools in San Diego - San Diego Business Journal'/><author><name>CMU</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07437502559270491130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>San Diego, CA, USA</georss:featurename><georss:point>32.7153292 -117.15725509999999</georss:point><georss:box>32.4256327 -117.34425859999999 33.0050257 -116.97025159999998</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708010203212800946.post-8597086657358164861</id><published>2011-07-15T13:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-03T21:42:01.687-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Deployed members of the United States Military: Free Canvas from Operation Hi Honey!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g453/Calmu/canvas_wedding.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g453/Calmu/canvas_wedding.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 271px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 341px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="WordSection1"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Military Education Unit at CMU commits to provide our military students with support during deployments and other Military related life changes.
