A Message from the SBAA Executive Committee

The Southern Business Administration Association (SBAA) is a regional association of collegiate business programs.  While the majority of our membership comes from the southern US, our membership spans from Hawaii to Pennsylvania.  We welcome any collegiate institution offering programs in business administration to join!   SBAA is a great organization to connect with fellow deans, share ideas, and learn best practices.  We learn from one another.

SBAA meets twice a year.  A summer workshop in July and an annual meeting in November.  The meetings focus on timely topics in business education.  A keynote speaker and an industry excursion are usually included in one or more of the meetings.  Whenever possible, we are joined by an AACSB officer to give us an updates on the standards.  Next year’s  summer workshop will be in Savannah, GA July 10-12, 2022, at the DeSoto Hotel in the heart of the city.   Marilyn Macik-Frey, VP of Programs, is planning a great meeting.

If you are not a member of SBAA I encourage you to join today.  It is truly an outstanding group of individuals.  Feel free to reach out to any of us on the Executive board if you have any questions.  I hope you will join this energetic group of business deans!
