Alumni Leadership Awards
The Alumni Leadership Awards are presented by the Babson Alumni Association (BAA) annually in the fall, during Back to Babson reunion and homecoming weekend.
Through the Alumni Leadership Awards, the BAA looks to reward alumni who have actively given their time and talent to the Babson Community. The leadership awards increase their recognition in the community and put them in touch with other leaders. We count on the nominations of others to ensure that all of our worthy alumni are considered for these prestigious awards.
