Beyond the powerful career development provided by The Consortium’s annual conference, the event has been known to bring new couples together.

This was the case for Joe and Erayna Sargent, who met at the 2008 OP in Dallas, Texas. They both attended Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in Bloomington, where they graduated in the class of 2010.

The Sargents now live in Kansas City, Mo., where Erayna serves as senior marketing manager with QuickBooks at Intuit and Joe is director of brand marketing for the Kansas City Chiefs NFL football team.
