by Cathy Smith
Battalion Reporter
The advisory council of the
Center for Executive Develop
ment (CED) will meet today for
the first time, new members in
cluded.
The CED offers programs at
all levels for managers and per
sons with degrees in other fields
who have been placed in man
agement positions, the center’s
director Robert Nelson said.
The CED also sponsors an inter
national managers program to
meet the needs of non-
American managers employed
by American or foreign firms.
Newly appointed members to
the advisory council are Larry
Shefferly, director of manage
ment development for Dresser
Industries; Travis B. Bryan,
chairman of the board of
Bryan’s First National Bank;
E.G. Pittman, vice president of

The advisory council mem
bers will get the chance to contri

today.(Friday)
The advisory council is divided
into three committees. One
checks the content of CED prog
rams to see that current business
needs are met. Another oversees
the production and publication of
the Center’s magazine, The Texas
Business Executive. Another
monitors the programs to see that
the needs of Texas businesses are
met.
The list of the center’s programs
reads like a businessman’s bible:
management seminar, streamlin

nar, new directions in services
marketing, finance and account
ing for non-financial managers,

strategies for turnaround. Prog
rams last from one day to four
weeks, depending on their con
tent.
Texas A&M faculty teach some
of the programs. Nelson says their
teaching contributes to overall fa
culty development.
“It’s important that the people
who are teaching know what goes
on in the real world,” he says. The
questions businessmen ask are
problems they left on their desks
when they came to the program —
nothing like the questions their
students ask, the director says.
Visitors from other businesses
and universities teach the prog
rams that Texas A&M faculty is not
equipped to teach. A diverse fa
culty is important to maintain a
flow of new ideas, Nelson says.
The Center is open to all busi
nessmen (21 states were repre
sented at the last seminar); howev
er, Texas businesses and their
needs are the priority, he says.
The Center has had the strong
support of Texas companies for 30
years, Nelson says.
E.G. Pittman of Lufkin says he
has the highest regards for the
Center.
A graduate of the Center’s 1976
program, he says: “The CED has
been beneficial in my career... I’m
sold on it.”
Pittman says the program gives
businessmen a view of the big pic
ture of business.
Companies that have been
around a long time owe their pros
perity to proper management, he
says. Today the needs for manage
ment training are even greater, he
says.
A 1956 graduate of Texas A&M,
Pittman says the University
should be a leader in developing
executives. The programs have to
be ever-changing to stay with
technology, he says. Pittman has a
degree in industrial technology.
Travis Bryan, a 1949 graduate of
Texas A&M, says he is willing to
help the advisory council in any
way he can. A lifetime Bryan resi
dent, he has worked at First Na
tional Bank since he graduated.
Tve seen every kind of transac
tion imaginable,” Bryan says. “I
have a backlog of experience. ” He
says he hopes that experience will
benefit the advisory council.
R. L. Sloan of Houston is a gra
duate of the CED’s advanced
management program. He has
been working for Tenneco for 18
years. He says he would like to
help with program organization
and curriculum. As a member of
industry and a businessman, he
says he would like to see more
taught about what industry ex
pects students to learn.
“I’ve made the mistakes, there
fore I should be able to spot
them,” he says.
Larry P. Shefferly was out of
town and could not be reached.
The four new advisory council
members were nominated by
other members, Dean Mobley
and director Robert Nelson.
In the advisor selection process,
the center strives for a balance be
tween the individuals and their
functions, Nelson says. It tries to
get a breadth of perspective on the
16-member council, he says. For
example, if the council needs a
representative from the banking
field, it will appoint a banker when
a member’s term expires, he says.
The council rotates on three-
year terms to get a wider range of
members. The members are eligi
ble for renomination after one
year’s absence, Nelson says.
