On May 5, the annual Retail Management Institute Advisory Board and Retail Studies Student Association student reception was held at the Williams-Sonoma headquarters located in downtown San Francisco.
In the company's conference room, perched above the beautiful San Francisco Bay, distinguished RMI Advisory Board members, RMI alumni, and fellow students mingled and chatted about the exciting world of retail.
Williams-Sonoma Chairman Howard Lester spoke to the group about his company's present, past, and future. He discussed the ever- changing landscape of the retail industry and how his company has adapted to the changing times.
Williams-Sonoma has found numerous other niches in the retail industry, with the creation of Pottery Barn, Chambers, Hold Everything, and some soon-to-be launched new concepts. These new ventures have added to the unbelievable success that the Williams-Sonoma Company has experienced.
The evening afforded everyone a perfect opportunity to get to know each other better and to visit in a spectacular atmosphere. |
