As a skilled and talented editor, Anne oversaw some of the association’s most important new initiatives. As the driving force behind the founding of BizEd, publishing was Anne’s greatest professional passion, and her vision would eventually define the magazine’s mission. She was instrumental in the writing of several major association reports – the Ethics Education Task Force, the Value of Management Education, and Peace Through Commerce. Today, the AACSB has an enormously successful seminar and conference program, an indispensable magazine, 17 affinity groups, a vibrant thought leadership effort and an expansive knowledge services program – all direct results of the excellence and dedication of Anne Graham.

Prior to joining AACSB in 2000, Anne spent 12 years at the Institute of Internal Auditors, first as director and editor-in-chief of Internal Auditor magazine and then as periodicals consultant. During the 1990’s, she wrote as a columnist for Folio: magazine and served as president of the Florida Magazine Association. A recipient of numerous state and national awards for editorial writing, Anne was often a presenter on management topics for organizations such as the American Advertising Association, the American Marketing Association, the American Society of Association executives, and the American Accounting Association.
