Troy Hill, President, McMaster Alumni Association, McMaster University
Karen McQuigge, Director, Alumni Engagement, McMaster University
Diverse campus populations lead to diverse alumni groups, and now more than ever, representation matters. The McMaster Alumni Association (MAA) is almost 130 years old and in 2020 the MAA welcomed Troy Hill, its first Indigenous President.
This is the first of many steps for the MAA in building a Board reflective of its diverse stakeholders. Diversity does not happen overnight and CCAE is pleased to feature an insightful conversation featuring Troy Hill, President, McMaster Alumni Association and Karen McQuigge, Director, Alumni Engagement, McMaster University, that will cover several areas surrounding Troy’s participation, recruitment and future plans for the Alumni Association.
As they learn from each other, they are learning valuable lessons on engagement, inclusion and ownership.
Following their discussion, Karen & Troy will field questions from the audience. Should you wish to submit in advance; please contact: Tara Sandler: sandler@ccaecanada.org
