Dr. Kay Palan, dean of the Culverhouse College of Business at The University of Alabama, was recently elected to a four-year term on the Board of Directors for the Southern Business Administration Association (SBAA), effective January 2020. SBAA is the regional association of collegiate business schools at universities throughout the Southern U.S. with nearly 150 member institutions. SBAA Summer Workshops and Annual Meetings attract a diverse array of business school leaders from its service region and from across the country.
“Dr. Palan brings a demonstrated commitment to SBAA and a history of outstanding business school leadership experience to the board,” says Dr. Mary Gowan, current SBAA president. “She is a most welcome addition to our Board of Directors. We know she will make strong contributions to advance the work of our organization.”
The mission of SBAA is to encourage the continued education of its membership by providing networking opportunities; showcasing best practices; promoting innovation in teaching, management and scholarship; and encouraging the membership to become leaders among peers.
