SFU Business is proud to host the SFU – Nancy McKinstry Awards for Leadership in Diversity at the Segal Graduate School of Business on September 29, 2010. The awards recognize those who have shown exemplary leadership in advancing the cause of diversity in business.  Last year tickets for this inspirational breakfast sold out in only two weeks, so be sure to reserve yours today.

A corporate award will be presented to an organization that exemplifies the values of diversity in the workplace and a graduate student scholarship is given to an SFU Faculty of Business Administration graduate student who has been a leader in promoting opportunities for women. This year’s corporate award finalists are Ernst & Young, KPMG and Scotiabank.
