Hannonen, who is a former president of the chapter in Silicon Valley, Calif., said, “The reason we wanted to bring the Management Society to BYU-Hawaii is that students are so far away [speaking of location] from everything and need to have a network for internships and jobs.� Members can go anywhere in the world and look up a local Manage-
