Appointment of Mr. Ron Robichaud as Executive Director of the Acadia Centre for Social and Business Entrepreneurship
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Ron Robichaud as Executive Director of the Acadia Centre for Social and Business Entrepreneurship (ACSBE) effective immediately. After a comprehensive search the interview panel and Human Resources Committee are confident that ACSBE will benefit from Mr. Robichaud’s leadership and guidance.
Mr. Robichaud has served as ACSBE’s Managing Director since 2005. He was responsible for the development and implementation of the organization’s strategic plan by managing the coordination, development and delivery of sustainable programs relevant to Entrepreneurship at Acadia, within the Community, and through Professional Development.
ACSBE is a not for profit affiliate of Acadia University that was formed in 1988. Since that time, ACSBE has been recognized locally, nationally and internationally as a leader in the development and promotion of a unique model of entrepreneurial skills and characteristics. Central to this model is the view that entrepreneurship is the pursuit of personal, business and societal success through informed decision-making and the acceptance of responsibility. This interpretation makes the Centre’s approach to entrepreneurial development broad and rich, and as such, its programming extends into the areas of education, business, career and social sector development.
The Centre prides itself in striving towards its vision “a culture where people take initiative to create a better world".
