Walker College of Business Dean Heather Norris has been appointed to a three-year term on the board of directors for the Southern Business Administration Association (SBAA) effective January 2018.
SBAA is the regional association of collegiate business schools at universities throughout the Southern U.S. with nearly 150 member institutions. SBAA sessions support a diverse array of business school leaders not only from its service region, but from across the country.
The organization elects three new board members from its membership each year to replace outgoing board members.
"Dr. Norris brings a demonstrated commitment to SBAA and a wealth of business school leadership experience to the board," said Dr. Bob Albert, current SBAA president. "She is a most welcome addition to our board of directors, and we are confident she will make strong contributions to advance the work of our organization."
The mission of SBAA is to improve management education by providing networking opportunities for business educators, showcasing best practices, promoting innovation in teaching and scholarship, and encouraging leadership in the management of educational programs.

She has since served in various administrative roles for the Walker College of Business, including senior associate dean for undergraduate programs and administration, and was named dean of the college in 2014.
