My Wine-soaked Quest for Success

Many thanks to the Business & Professional Women's Club of Mission, BC (BPW) for inviting me to speak during their AGM this week. I know there will be lots of familiar faces, but many new ones--I am looking forward to seeing both!

BPW gave me no parameters (except the time limitation) but I understand the members like to hear personal stories about why and how women arrived at their professions and how they navigated nay-sayers and road blocks to continue on their respective paths to success. So, that's what I am going to share in a talk titled My Wine-soaked Quest for Success. 

If you'd like to join in for lunch, please contact BPW Mission directly to reserve your seat. You have until midnight on Monday, April 20. BPW appreciates that people's schedules often have last-minute openings; however, they are unable to accommodate walk-ins.

Click Media Works teams with B.C. aerospace industry

By Rick Rake

Click Media Works is pleased to announce it is now working with Jay Teichroeb, vice president of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada’s (AIAC) new Pacific Division, and the association’s national office based in Ottawa, providing key communications services.

The B.C. aerospace industry has secured a $5 million, five-year commitment by the provincial government to help develop the industry and ensure the province’s world-class aerospace innovators and leaders keep their competitive edge.

Click is proud to offer support in showcasing the industry which generates $1.2 billion in revenues annually and employs more than 10,000 British Columbians.

“We are thrilled to be involved as AIAC Pacific develops a more unified aerospace industry in B.C. to attract more investment and integrated contract sourcing for aerospace global firms,” said Kathleen Rake, owner of Click Media Works, based in the Fraser Valley.

During the implementation of the project, AIAC Pacific will closely align its efforts with the work AIAC is doing at the national level to promote the competitiveness of the Canadian aerospace industry.

More:

AIAC Pacific has taken on the leading role in developing and hosting the Aerospace, Defense and Security Expo (ADSE), which takes place alongside the historic Abbotsford International Airshow. This year, ADSE runs August 7 – 8 and features high-profile government and industry representatives speaking on matters key to the growth and competitiveness of the aerospace, defence, and security industries.
