Panel Discussion: The Power To OvercomeRegister Now

 

We will be having a panel discussion on the theme of the Forum is "The Power to Overcome."  Why?  People enjoy hearing from those who have succeeded and that is of course inspirational.  At the same time ELO events are known for being authentic.  No one is sugarcoating the challenges in the marketplace.  We want to provide content and stories that resonate with individuals and that address issues that people may be wrestling with and to provide some practical means of encouragement and inspiration.

We will have a panel of 4 business leaders on the platform at one time.  This panel discussion will be chaired by Dr. Richard J. Goossen.  Each panelist will have 5 minutes to introduce a particular challenge in their business journey and how they overcame it.  After each of the panelists finish their remarks we would then take questions from the audience for 20 minutes.  

The distinguished panelsts include the following individuals:

• Herb Buller, Herb & Erna Buller Foundation, formerly involved with Kitchen Craft and Norcraft
• Charles Loewen, Chairman of the Board, Loewen Windows (www.loewen.com)
•  Heidi Reimer-Epp, President & Co-Founder, Botanical Paperworks www.botanicalpaperworks.com)
