Administrative Professionals Day presented by TELUS
Treat your administrative staff to two- one hour virtual sessions with the PG Chamber & TELUS on Wednesday, April 28th.
Featuring two local experts, we will dive into topics such as Social Media Management and Work-Life Balance. Both sessions will offer an opportunity to win great prizes donated by TELUS & Linda Rempel of SunLife Financial.
10:00am Social Media Management with Alyson Gourley-Cramer.

She has engaged audiences on the topics of crisis communications, issues management, institutional rebrands, social media, website redesigns, and community engagement project design.
