Director of Membership and Involvement - Dani Wiedmeyer

 Major: Marketing
 Minor: Economics
 Hometown: Hartford, WI
 Graduation date: May 2014
 Favorite Marketing Class: Although I have not yet taken a Marketing class here at UW-L, my 
 favorite "area" of marketing is Brand Image and Management, since customers are often loyal
 to the brands that epitomize the "image"(or lifestyle) that the customers themselves would like
 to personify. Thus, the management and protection of a brand's image is crucial as well. I was 
 drawn to this major by its omnipresence in the everyday world and its influence over society.

Director of Community Events - Kelly Chase


 Major: Marketing, Finance
 Minor: Accounting, Organizational & Professional Communications
 Hometown: Prior Lake, MN
 Graduation date: May 2012
 Favorite Marketing Class: Buyer Behavior because it is the root of all things marketing. You
 need to understand who your buyer (consumer) is in order to succeed in sales, B2B marketing,
 market research, and international marketing. If you can't identify your customer and what
 they need/want/like, then the company can't profit.
