About Us
The 1911 Group was founded by SMU alumni Lindsey Brown (Dedman Law ’13) and Mitchell Brown (Dedman College ’10 & Cox MBA ’20) to create a space for alumni to connect, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships.
Our mission is to leverage the strength of the SMU network to create opportunities for professional and personal growth, including new hires, clients, investors, and partnerships. Through exclusive events and networking gatherings, we bring SMU alumni together to exchange ideas, engage with industry leaders, and form valuable connections. With over 300 members across diverse industries, we foster a thriving community dedicated to collaboration, growth, and shared success.
