Vision
The club helps the vast majority of Northern California alumni accelerate their growth curves to building significantly better lives so that they are far higher up the ladder of resources, achievement and
success.
Strategy
To enable that vision, we are a club of highly connected Sloanies who have fun getting together to help and support one another:
Success
Our success is measured by our members’ roles in the greater community, their accomplishments, and consistent events that showcase what we stand for.

Sloan Dot COM
While the number of Sloanies in the Bay Area was relatively small, Sloan Club is running strong, under the guidance of Riya Suising, Monica Lee and others.
Popular events included speaker events, like Financing and Emerging Enterprise and co-sponsored events like WildCard Wednesday and Brie, Bordeax and Brains.
2000-2009
The 2000’s
We held numerous events and activities including holiday dinners, the summer bash and a wide variety of lectures and panels.
2010-2014
Community Success
Following a tsunami of CXO roles, venture fundings, VPships and kids, the club went quiet.

The Club Relaunch Task Force
With now over 2000 MIT Sloan alums in the bay area, we recognized that we’re missing opportunities to connect, learn from each other and grow together.
We created task force to plan out the relaunch of the club with the goal of building a sustainable club.
2016
New Club Planning!
Hey, we’re MBA’s. Planning rocks!
A few hundred club members get together to talk through what we want and needed in our lives that could be uniquely fulfilled by getting together with fellow Sloanies.
These conversations result in a needs-based programming model, where our purpose and events are centered on making connections related to our interests and improving one another’s lives.
Launch!
We relaunch at the Annual Summer Gathering.
Of 2000 local alums, about 300 join immediately and tell us their interests.
The Entrepreneurship and the IOT interest groups kick off our first interest group events.
The leadership team puts the club’s operations in gear.
2017
We Ride!
We’re blasting into the new year with new events and groups:
- Marketing Interest Group
- Payments Interest Group
- Finance Interest Group
- Peer Coaching Roundtables
- Parties without a Purpose each quarter
Expect many new events and interest groups all year long.
