The TRU Alumni & Friends Annual General Meeting took place June 24, 2014 at the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge. With a fabulous turn out of over 50 alumni & friends the meeting summarized the years’ activities, financials and touched on plans for the future.

The board sadly said goodbye to retiring board members: Rob Williamson, Wendy Heshka, Dusan Magdolen, Marty Hastings, Ryan Scorgie and Melissa Baker.

“We retired a group of influential board members, both alumni and friends, whose work on the board has left us with a legacy of communication and business processes that continue to expand our mission. To ensure we continue this great work we have expanded our recruitment process to encourage and harnesses innovation, business and academic thinking through the strong personalities of our new board members,” said Arlene Olynyk, Alumni Officer. ” I think it’s going to be thrilling to work alongside these brilliant people as we continue the dynamic process of aligning our alumni activities and priorities with the 5 new strategic priorities of the university.”
