Hala Bissada
Hospitality & Tourism Management ’91
President & CEO, Hala Events & Communications Inc.
Since graduating from Hospitality and Tourism in 1991, Hala Bissada has gone on to found one of the country’s most successful Event Planning and Management companies, but she has never strayed far from her Ryerson roots. She is a part-time instructor at Ryerson and has recently developed a new Special Event Certificate program that launched in 2012. She has been a member of the Ryerson University Alumni Association since 2010, and this year was Chair of the inaugural Gould Street Party in conjunction with Alumni Weekend. Her leadership, dedication and in-kind contributions to the University are invaluable and immeasurable.
I think what’s important is if you demonstrate leadership, others will follow.
