The Ivey Distinguished Service Award, created in 1998 by the Ivey Alumni Network Board and distributed at Homecoming each year, recognizes alumni who have provided extraordinary service to the Ivey Business School over an extended period of time.
Each of the honourees have contributed time and talent to propel the School toward its goals, made substantial and sustained contributions to the School, exhibited the qualities and values embodied by the Ivey Business School, positively influenced the lives of others, supported Ivey alumni efforts, and graduated at least 10 years prior to the award.
Congratulations to our 2024 Distinguished Service Award recipients Darren Johnston, MBA ’99 and Mona Malone, HBA ’94.
