About the DMAA

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

The DMAA luncheon was held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on February 2, 2018.

" Ã山ǿ¼é is the best place to develop relationships to thrive in the future. I had conviction in my vision and the power of the Ã山ǿ¼é network".

-Daniel Saks (BA'07), President and Co-founder of AppDirect and 2018 Desautels Young Inspiration Achievement Award recipient

“Never assume someone is better than you when an opportunity presents itself...when an opportunity arrives, face it, prepare for it, and go for it". 

-Marie-Josée Lamothe, Managing Director of Google Quebec, Managing Director, Branding of Google Canada, and 2018 Desautels Management Achievement Award recipient

“Remember that the first attribute of a great leader is courage - courage of conviction, courage to move ahead, and courage to champion the less fortunate".
