Please share this upcoming event with your membership mailing lists. All are welcome.
We are excited to invite you to the first event in the 2026
Leadership in Our Times: The Critical Issues Series, moderated by UM Chancellor Emeritus and Leader-in-Residence Anne Mahon.

Mark Chipman, Executive Chairman and Governor of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club,
and Kevin Chief, Senior Advisor at True North Sports + Entertainment and Community Ambassador for the Southern Chiefs’ Organization, have worked side by side to position the Winnipeg Jets and True North as leaders in Reconciliation within the NHL and
across our community.
UM Chancellor Emeritus and Burns Institute Leader-in-Residence Anne Mahon will
guide a conversation exploring their partnership, the challenges they’ve navigated, and the meaningful progress they’ve made in “walking together” for Reconciliation.
Join us for this Burns Leadership Institute event as we learn from three influential leaders who are shaping the path forward.
