University of Regina Alumni Association (URAA)
The URAA (University of Regina Alumni Association) and the University of Regina Alumni Relations Office invite you to join us for the Annual General Meeting. This is a great opportunity to connect virtually and in person with
the URAA Board of Directors, the University, and other members of the U of R alumni community.
Our guest speaker is Richard Kies BAdmin '93, CPR '03, Executive Director, Kinsmen Foundation, and URAA Past President.
Richard convocated with a Bachelor of Administration in 1993, followed by a Certificate in Public Relations in 2003. He has spent most of his career in the charitable sector, including 15 years with the Canadian Red Cross and now entering his fifth year as Executive Director of the Kinsmen Foundation and TeleMiracle.
Richard’s connection to the U of R has remained strong – he taught courses through the Centre for Continuing Education, served six years on U of R Senate, seven years on the U of R Alumni Association Board including President in the “Homecoming” year of 2011, and has led the Saskatoon alumni branch since moving there in 2011. Richard lives in Saskatoon with his wife Deborah and their beloved dog, Kirby.

uIn 2018, Dr. Dagenais was the recipient of the Dr. Robert and Norman Ferguson Crowning Achievement Award from the UniversityOf Regina Alumni Association (URAA) as recognition for what she describes as “an 11 -year experiential learning opportunity.” Dr. Dagenais was referring to the 11 years she devoted to the board of URAA, but the award recognized much more than that: it acknowledged her years of service to the University of Regina, as well as to the URAA.
