October 28, 2024
Dominique Anglade, Adjunct Professor and co-leader of HEC Montréal’s Sustainable Transition Office has been honoured as one of the winners of the 2024 Association des MBA du Québec (AMBAQ) MBA Gala for her outstanding contribution to Quebec society.
“Twenty years ago, I completed my MBA at HEC Montréal and received the Relève Award from the same association. Twenty years later, I am back on stage again, this time for my post-academic contributions and my social commitment, which is something that has always been extremely important to me. This new and gratifying award represents a continuation, especially as it highlights the impacts on society, which is a fundamental aspect of the MBA.”
