Randi Duke Elected
President of CCAE

andi Duke, executive director of

College Relations at Capilano
College, was recently elected president
of the Canadian Council for the
Advancement of Education (CCAE).
The election took place June 18 at the
CCAE annual general meeting held at
Bishop’s University in Lennoxville,
Quebec.

“I’m looking forward to my term
and see it as a privilege to serve as
president of the CCAE,” Randi says.
“We are facing difficult times and
there is a lot of competition for scarce
resources. As an advancement
professional myself, the CCAE plays
an important role in my own position,
helping me in my efforts to increase
understanding, support, and resources
for my institution.”

A director on the 1993 founding
board, Randi, a North Shore resident,
has also held one-year terms as
treasurer and vice-president. Two other
British Columbia members were
elected in June to the board for two-
year terms. They are Kathleen
Biagioni Topolewski, executive
director of the Foundation, University
College of the Cariboo, and Agnes
Papke, executive director, UBC
Alumni Association, University of
British Columbia.

CCAE is the only Canadian
organization representing alumni
relations, public affairs, fundraising
and other institutional advancement
professionals working in colleges,
universities and other post-secondary
education institutions. There are
approximately 145 public post-
secondary member institutions across
Canada, including about 50 associate
member organizations that are related
to education.

“First and foremost, we are an
organization serving our members in
support of higher education in
Canada,” Randi explains. “As a young
organization, we have grown very

quickly over a three year period. We
have focused on giving services to our
members through networking,
professional development activities,
and other relevant services at the
national and regional levels.

“At present, we are developing a
CCAE Fellowship program to provide
year-long internships at colleges and
universities for people who want to go
into the advancement field.”
