Co-founder of DiscoverHer Project, and owner of En Amour Events, Jess Poon, (Cardiovascular Society of Canada) recently attended the Yellow Conference in sunny L.A. The theme was OWNERSHIP. It is much more than your average conference though, it is a movement of ambitious and creative women who are looking to make an impact on this world by doing good through their business and brand. As a generation that is inclined to own less materialistically and define success differently, what would happen if we were to own our story, dreams, and gifts? Connect with Poon, and read more in her blog post.

Congratulations to Lira Buschman, CMP, DES, Union of Canadian Transportation Employees, for earning her Digital Event Strategist (DES) certification on September 15, 2018. Buschman learned a lot and enjoyed being challenged throughout the experience earning this designation. Way to go! Connect with her at buschml@psac-afpc.com.
