Commitment in Action

Perched as we are on the brink of the millennium, what could be more motivating than commitment in action?

The AACE Board has been busy under the passionate and inspired leadership of President Blane Harvey – hence the revitalized effort to communicate, to educate, to grow membership and to effectively influence.

While we herald the beginning of a more active and present association, it’s also with the greatest respect and best wishes for ongoing success that we bid adieu to the visionary at the heart of many of these changes.

AACE President Blane Harvey, currently Director of Programs, Faculty of Continuing Education, The University of Calgary, moves on to the position of Vice-President, Business Development at St. Clair College of Applied Arts & Technology in Windsor Ontario, effective January 2000. Blane will have his hands full in the new role he assumes encompassing the College’s Continuing Education, Contract Training, International Development & Marketing divisions.

At a recent AACE board meeting, the leadership torch was unanimously approved to pass to Peter Cookson, Athabasca University. Peter will assume the role of acting President January 1, 2000 until the spring annual general meeting.
