I am thankful for my health, a good career, great coworkers and a loving and supportive family.
Our

today talks about something we all know a lot about, the challenges of working in volunteer organizations. In
News from the Profession

Our Institute and Chapter exist to grow and promote Credit education in Manitoba and we are thankful for the opportunity to do just that!

SPOTLIGHT

When the Strategy is to Talk Strategy
I love listening to very smart people talking.
TED talks,
great speeches
, brilliant co-workers. There is something about how really smart people talk - they are clear, funny, and poignant. In so many ways, smart people embody the right way to do things: have a dream, come up with a plan, and "do" the plan.
