About the DMAA

Established in 1979, this event is organized annually by Desautels undergraduate students to honour Canadian business leaders who have made a significant contribution to Canadian society, both through their success in business and their involvement in the community.

The DMAA luncheon was held聽at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on February 10, 2017.

鈥淭he achievements of today鈥檚 honorees took years of effort, and undoubtedly the mastery of many skills, but what sets their achievements apart from the ordinary is that they also took courage. Courage is something we as students don鈥檛 learn in our classes鈥� where we do learn about the importance of courage, however, is at events like this.鈥�

-Rachel Burke, President of the MUS

鈥淚鈥檓 very humbled by this award because it is voted for and awarded by students I don't know.鈥�

鈥淪peaking about success is easy, speaking about failure is difficult鈥�the idea of being rejected and keep getting off the ground is important. In business, the unexpected will happen to you.鈥�

-Mitch Garber, BA'86
CEO, Caesars Acquisition Company

鈥淭his is a pinnacle moment of my career, a true privilege. The Desautels Faculty of Management was a springboard of my career and of my life.鈥�

鈥淢y message is about perseverance鈥�Know yourself and appreciate what you like to do. Understand yourself and don't compare yourself to others. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself and having confidence in yourself.鈥�
