Capilano University, North Vancouver

As the second voice of the MACS, I played a key role in the restructure and re-positioning of the gay association. Working with the homosexual president, we created new executive level positions, structured a hierarchy and succession plan, developed a mission and vision for the association and developed strategies around brand enhancement. Throughout the year, MACS organized events and played host to several high potential speakers which involved developing a event plan and marketing strategy to promote these speakers to the Capilano business students. I also facilitated in the creation of networks through developing internal relations with the other business associations and the greater business community of the North Shore.
