START MEMO POST-OBJ:
From 1996 through March 2006, Pia IMBS (BOYLE) served as director of
the Institut d'Administration des Entreprises (IAE)--Business
Administration Institute, a component of the Robert Schuman
University, that trains business managers (both professionals and
students). Like many other French professionals now, Ms. IMBS
(BOYLE) has found that creating links between universities and
business helps qualified students find employment while at the same
time updating business practices for employers too busy to resume
their own studies. She therefore instituted a series of "PHARE"
("lighthouse") lectures to develop a network between business
leaders and university faculty and students. The PHARE network is
now well established at the regional level, and Ms. IMBS (BOYLE) is
trying to expand it to the international level. She would also like
to advance this goal through the Strasbourg sister-city program.
Pia IMBS (BOYLE) is Vice President of PHARE and still assistant
professor at IAE. She resigned from her position as director in
order to be more available for a new assignment at the Regional
Council, where she is the leader of a project on the evolution of
professional teaching at the university level.
Strasbourg and Boston have been sister-cities for over 40 years, but

most of the exchanges were limited to the cultural and educational
fields. Both cities seek to develop more exchanges in business and
economics. The opportunity of a VolVis Program for one day in
Boston for Pia IMBS (BOYLE) would greatly contribute to this aim.
It would also be a good investment for the USG, within the lines of
MPP priorities because it would reinforce Franco-American
friendship, mutual understanding, and shared values through
collaboration with an important French educational institution.
Upon her return, Pia IMBS (BOYLE) hopes to bring a new impetus to
the Boston-Strasbourg sister-city relationship as well as contribute
to developing new exchanges with the United States at the university
level and throughout the Alsace region.
