We’ve come a long way baby! The idea first sprouted at a Women's Only Seminar at my office of Edward Jones Investments. The idea took root and I called on friends and colleagues for help and suggestions. My vision was clear from the start. Construct a first class event just for women that would enrich and empower and at the same time raise money for charity.

Networking with Purpose

If you are like most women, you network to meet new people. This might be to expand your social circle or to develop your business and meet new potential clients. If you’ve made one new friend or business acquaintance in the past year you have most likely been successful by being yourself, being a good listener and following up with coffee, meetings and more conversation.

In this fun, interactive workshop you will have a chance to meet someone new and learn about the dos and don’ts for networking in your community. If you want to maximize the time you spend networking, this session is for you!

She is passionate about working to end intimate partner violence in our community. She sits on the provincial board of directors for EVA BC (Ending Violence Assoc).

Jan had practiced several forms of martial arts in the past and thought it would be great to incorporate these within her workout regime. She started training in Muay thai kickboxing, the training led to competition, where in 2010 Jan won a bronze medal.
