SSBHE Dinner Series

The burning platform of the SSBHE

• Connect Schulich Health Industry Management Program (HIMP) colleagues, students and partners

• Assist in raising awareness of the Schulich HIMP as a leader in creating relevant health industry knowledge

In 2011, the SSBHE was created to:

3

Hundreds of conversations,

many new connections, and tons of

insights

25 hosts and

special guests

80+ Schulich students & alumni

200+ requests to attend the first 9

events

For three years the Dinners have been a smashing success:

The Dinners are a win-win for everyone!

Why Participate?• Hear refreshing perspectives and cutting-edge

insights from both HIMP student and alumni attendees

• Meet alumni in senior leadership roles making a difference in how the health system works and who want to learn from your experience

• Gain by meeting them early in their careers and applying their fresh ideas to your own success

What is the agenda?

A free-flowing 2-3 hour talk over food and drinks. You can structure the conversation as you wish; an SSBHE member is always on hand to help you facilitate the conversation.

We do! You tell us ‘Yes’ and we do the rest. SSBHE assigns a co-host from our Executive Team who will manage the application process and help facilitate the event.

5-6 HIMP students and 3-4 alumni, including the co-host. Sometimes our hosts (and their spouses) invite special guests. It has always been a memorable time for all!

What do I cover?

No specific rules. In the past we have had lunches at the

office or dinner at the hosts’ home or a nearby restaurant.

We have had pizza dinners, BBQs, and five-course meals –

they are all fun! We go with your suggestion. These events

are about learning from each other in a relaxed setting.

We kindly ask you to cover the cost of the food. We believe

that nurturing young talent pays off.
