BYU Management Society - Forming Chapters Based on Ward or Stake Boundaries

I suggested that we form a Chapter of the BYU Management Society in my ward and believe those who join would enjoy the following benefits: 

  • Breakfasts: meet together monthly or quarterly in our area for breakfast early enough not to interfere with regular business schedules;
  • Networking: learn more about each other's business and professional lives and expertise;
  • Speakers: invite local LDS or non-LDS leaders in business, government, the arts, etc. to speak to us;
  • Recognition: give an award to or otherwise recognize non-LDS local individuals and businesses who exemplify high moral and ethical standards;
  • Community: instead of being just a "bedroom" community, become connected with this wonderful area we live in;
  • Employment: be a support to priesthood leaders in providing informal consulting to those seeking jobs or career development;
  • Golf Tournament: hold an annual golf tournament to benefit a worthy charitable cause;
  • Business Setting: invite our non-LDS friends and neighbors to get to know us in a non-Church business setting;
  • Global: membership in this organization connects you with chapters of business professionals in 60 US cities and 18 countries worldwide who share our values;
  • Diversity: you do not need to be a BYU alumnus or even LDS to belong to this organization.  The vision of the BYU Management Society is "growing moral and ethical leadership around the world."  Anyone who shares this vision may join.  We would especially encourage women, minorities and those of other faiths to join.
  • "Standing for Something": our affiliation with the Marriott School at BYU is an internationally recognized "brand" which communicates the values to which we adhere without limiting membership.  The Wall Street Journal recently ranked the Marriott School #1 in regional MBA schools and #2 in ethics at MBA schools nationwide. 
    • Your alma mater will grow in the respect of leaders throughout the earth who will increasingly recognize the unique abilities and unusual qualities of BYU graduates. The stature of BYU graduates will enhance the good name of the Church wherever they go and do inestimable good in advancing the work of the Lord.  As moral and ethical values weaken and decline in societies worldwide, the gap between the world and this Church will widen. Those who live according to LDS standards will stand out from the crowd and receive recognition as those who can be counted on.
    • Elder David B. Haight: encouraged members of the BYU Management Society as follows:
    • We need members of the BYU Management Society to help build the moral base of our communities.  You have standards, ideals and values that will not only lead you to success, but will bless and strengthen this nation and all the world.
The idea of forming a chapter in my own ward came to me today, as noted above.  I talked to a few people and they were very excited.  Obviously, if this model works and can be applied elsewhere, this has the potential to grow our organization exponentially.  Maybe this is what we have been waiting for.

Any thoughts on forming ward or stake chapters?  Could this work in your area?  Is this too much, too quick?  For me, I am excited and think it will work.  Let me know your thoughts.
