7 Quotes This landmark event will bring together the world s leading business schools in the responsible management education movement. I urge all PRME and other interested business school leaders to attend. John Fernandes President and CEO AACSB International The Forum will truly be the founding cornerstone of tomorrow s management education. Any Dean who thinks that business educators ought to have a voice in the global agenda should participate in the Global Forum. Manuel Escudero Head, PRME Secretariat The Global Forum represents a significant milestone for PRME and the work of the UN Global Compact and its partners. Whilst much has been achieved over the last 5 years the vision for PRME is only at an early stage. This meeting will offer a time for serious strategic thinking on the role of PRME and of management education for the future. EFMD will actively engage and participate in the Forum. Eric Cornuel Director General and CEO EFMD The primary raison d être for institutions of graduate management education is to identify and develop leaders for tomorrow. This forum, like the principles themselves, will articulate well the direction employers with be following in the years ahead as they search for human capital. Every business school with aspirations of thought leadership should attend this forum. David A. Wilson President and Chief Executive Officer Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) > 06 <
