The Beach Boys Concert

The Imagine America Foundation’s first-ever convention wide concert was a huge success!  It was a night to remember. Young and old alike sang and danced the night away to music of The Beach Boys with special guest John Stamos.  

This special fundraising event was a first for the Foundation.   We couldn’t be more pleased that the VIP and All-Access section sold out.  The proceeds from the concert will be used to support career education students with their education and sponsor research publications and tools that help bring awareness to the career education community.

Over the next several weeks we will be updating The Beach Boys concert page with pictures, video, and information.  We hope that you will visit this site and continue to support us in our new developments, activities and events.

The Imagine America Foundation would like to thank our sponsors for their support:

Lifetime Achievement Award

At a small career college campus in Buffalo, New York in the mid-1970s, Ken Konesco began making the first of many achievements that would lead to his placement among the most respected leaders in career education. On June 8, 2011, his many contributions to the private college and university sector were formally recognized when the Imagine America Foundation presented him with one of its most prestigious honors. Konesco, CEO of Educational Management Corporation, the parent company of Harrison College, graciously received the Lifetime Achievement Award (formerly the Pioneer Award) from the Imagine America Foundation’s board of directors during the General Session & Awards Lunch at the 2011 Annual Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU) Convention in Grapevine, Texas.
