From then to now
In early 1981, a small group of EMBA Program administrators met to plan what would be the first EMBA conference of many. EMBAC started small, but grew quickly. Throughout the years, much has changed in the Executive MBA industry, and EMBAC has marked many milestones in supporting its development. In 2015, it celebrated another one – a new identity to reflect its role as voice of the EMBA industry. Take a quick look at the council’s journey and eye to the future. >
