Each year, the business community in Richmond, B.C. gathers to recognize top business leaders in the city. This year, the Richmond Chamber of Commerce 47th Annual Business Excellence Awards gala was hosted on Nov. 21, with Trinity Western University's School of Business MBA Programs as the title sponsor.

Pursuing excellence in business and human resources
TWU alumna Isabella Alvarez' story was featured as part of the evening's program. Isabella's story captures how she and her family emigrated from Colombia to Canada, and how she eventually found her calling in business and human resources. Trinity Western became the place that helped shape and prepare Isabella to pursue her path, through providing her with a supportive learning community and many opportunities to exercise leadership.
