Alicia Planincic Economist Alicia is an Economist at the Business Council of Alberta. She plays a crucial role in designing policy research and identifying actionable insights. She brings experience in data analytics, a passion for effective prose, and a fresh perspective of economics. Her career trajectory began with the serendipitous experience of being accidentally assigned a study hall in a classroom for economics, and the rest unfolded from there—she studied economics at Miami University, spent several years digging into data to better understand consumers for P&G, and later completed her MAT in economics education at the University of Georgia. Most recently, she reveled in the challenge of teaching college-level economics to high school students. Now, she has the rare opportunity to combine these disparate skills and experiences in a way that is deeply meaningful and wildly fun, to increase prosperity for all. A small-town girl with a big appetite for adventure, she is commonly found running the Bow river or lost between the aisles of the econ, psych, and history sections of Central library looking for her next read. New to Alberta, she aspires to ensure that Alberta is a place to dream, boldly tackle challenges, and, thrive, a place we all proudly call home. |

Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 841 3358 2710 Darby Lee Young is the Founder of Level Playing Field, an accessibility agency focused on the implementation of universal design principles and accessible best practices. Born with mild cerebral palsy, Darby works to mitigate barriers that people like her face on a daily basis. In 2020, that manifested in an unexpected and personal way, when Darby collaborated with shoe designer John Fluevog to create a line of shoes — affectionately named The Darby — with a sole that is rubber, removable, and easier to repair, taking the needs of those with particular disabilities into consideration. The work began when Darby approached her favourite shoe designer with a problem: because of her gait, her footwear always wore down in a particular spot, and lasted anywhere from a day to a month. Rather than the repair she was looking for, John Fluevog proposed a collaboration. The bestselling ‘Darby’ line now includes five colours, and is sold across Canada and internationally. |

A World Authority on Malaria and Dengue Fever from Tanzania
Jun 06, 2022 12:00 PM
Meeting will open for entry at 11:30 AM MDT and begin at 12:00 PM MDT. Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 841 3358 2710 Premji was born in Iringa, Tanzania, to a somewhat poor Ismaili family who were often on the move. First in Morogoro, then in Tanga, then on the outskirts of Mtwara, he attended a series of public schools: “I did well in my studies and was active in sports, playing soccer, cricket, and volleyball. With the support of a university sponsorship, he ended up at the Muhimbili Faculty of Medicine in Dar es Salaam. There he studied Medicine and later Parasitology and began building a reputation as a “malaria guru.” As a specialist, Premji took part in several influential studies. He was a leader in the Bagamoyo BedNet Project, collaboration with Johns Hopkins University that analyzed the impact of insecticide-treated bed nets. And he helped to pioneer a new diagnostic tool, popularly known as the Rapid Diagnostic Test, that’s now deployed globally for malaria diagnoses, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Zul Premji retired to Calgary in 2016, to help take care of his grandchildren. “With time,” he writes, “hopefully I will return to Tanzania.” Until then, he speaks with the authority of someone who has met with success.
