DeVore named an AACSB ‘Influential Leader’

Susan DeVore, a UNC Charlotte alumna and trustee, is among the inaugural group of “Influential Leaders” named by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the global accrediting body and membership association for business schools.

“It is my honor to recognize Susan DeVore for her contributions as an ‘Influential Leader’ and to thank UNC Charlotte for its dedication to providing a business education environment based on engagement, innovation and impact,” said Thomas Robinson, president and CEO of AACSB International. “AACSB is honored to celebrate Susan DeVore — and the collective 100 Influential Leaders — as a representation of how business school alumni have positively influenced society, as well as the management education industry’s past, present and promising future.”

DeVore is president and CEO of Premier Inc., a leading health care improvement company. She graduated from UNC Charlotte’s Belk College of Business in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Gov. Pat McCrory appointed DeVore to the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees effective July 1.
