The big day is here – we launch Accelerator 2009. The months of work leading up to today seem a blur. Amid the flurry of last minute details, my mind is already racing toward tonight’s opening dinner. I see in the faces of our arriving students (who tonight become the “apprentice”) -anticipation, excitement, and a bit of worry. I know what lies ahead for them. The next 30 days will be an amazing adventure of self discovery, learning, and growing. They will “do more then they ever imagined.”
Before we “officially” begin, I’d like to thank the many individuals who have worked so tirelessly to make Accelerator 2009 an amazing experience. First – the core team: Greg Harvey, Kimberly Pace, David Furse, Cherrie Clark, Brian Griffith, David Franklin, Jeff Schwartzenberg, John English, Paul Frankenberg, Greg Stielstra, Matt White, Amy Wolf, Coco Chalfant, Erin Anderson, Thomas Bernstein, Akadius Berry, Eric Bilbrey, Macee Bumpus, Brad Cayer, Kyle Clay, Jeff Freude, Dave Thomas, LaDonna Thornton, Brad Lawrence, John Morrison, Ethan Dunham, and A.J. Axelrod.
Next, a special thanks to the many great Faculty of Vanderbilt who will be leading our “get-it-and-go” learning modules that surround our Corporate Challenges. We have a great lineup of faculty for Accelerator 2009: Froeb, Clark, Hoeffler, Lapre, Hyer, Franklin, Victor, Furse, DuBois, English, Moye, Griffith, Pace, Frankenberg, and Owens.
We appreciate the support and participation of our Corporate Partners – who create with our faculty the “real world experiences” that define the Owen Accelerator experience: Video Gaming Technology, The Nashville Chamber of Commerce, BlueCross BlueShield of TN, Arrington Vineyards, Gordian Health Solutions, Sony Music Entertainment, Abeo Partners, Cisco, Presidio Networked Solutions and Coca-Cola Enterprises.
Now it’s time to - Learn it. Apply it. Live it. Let’s roll.
