Message from the Chair
As with our community, the Asper School of Business is entering an exciting era.
Our Dean has clearly put the School on track to excellence and relevance in the education required by the leaders of tomorrow. In support of developing those leaders the Associates draw on over 26 years of harnessing goodwill between the School, business and the broader community.
Making the most of any business school's potential requires coordination, commitment and ongoing involvement from the business communities. Today, by sharing knowledge, experience and opportunities with each other, we continue to build on that experience while ensuring the fundamentals required for our future growth is in place today.
We have created an environment where business leaders and future leaders can interact with one another while also supporting University initiatives.

The Associates is the finest program of its type in Canada. The Asper School of Business is indeed fortunate to have the continued strong support of the business community as it pursues its goal of excellence in management education. Over two hundred business men and women in Winnipeg and across Canada have assumed the commitment of the Associates through their annual membership.
Management education is undergoing major changes, and business schools must adapt to these changing conditions. As the Asper School of Business meets the challenges of the future, the Associates will be a vital part of the strategic initiatives undertaken. With the continued support of the business community, the Asper School of Business will maintain its reputation as one of the finest business schools in Canada.
