As the Learning Chair of my EO Edmonton Accelerator Group, I was recently asked to speak on the topic of internet marketing to my fellow Accelerators.

Having started out as a young entrepreneur myself, I am  not only encouraged, but inspired by the great work of Junior Achievement (JA) in teaching critical business skills and fueling the entrepreneurial spirit in our up and coming business community. Though I have been a supporter for years, the opportunity to actively participate in recent JA events has allowed me to gain a new appreciation and respect for how well the organization is run, the caliber of the participants, and how many young people are impacted by their important mandate. In fact, I recently joined the Board of Directors and have become one of the organization’s most devoted advocates!
