Message from the Dean

Since 1916, the innovative ideas, entrepreneurial spirit and leadership of the School’s more than 26,000 alumni have strengthened businesses and communities in our home province and around the globe.

Today, more than ever, the Business Alumni Association (BAA) is a strong partner of the Alberta School of Business and plays a significant role in promoting the work of the School, its students and alumni. In the coming year, I look forward to participating in the BAA’s many dynamic events and programs that help shape the future of our communities and create the leaders of tomorrow.

Message from the President

The Business Alumni Association is a group of highly motivated individuals with a simple goal of providing value: value to our growing base of alumni, business students and our partners because we believe we are a part of a community of alumni who make an impact.

As the current President of the BAA, I feel lucky to be leading a group of talented, hard-working individuals who have the tenacity to challenge the status quo and continually improve our programs, events and influence in the community year-over-year. I hope that you will help us continue to add value with your support.
