SUMMARY:BPW Edmonton Presents: Leadership in Action\, Round Four!

Being on maternity leave was a perfect time to reconsider career paths and Liz subsequently started her first foray into the non-profit world working for the In-Motion Network\, a provincial charity that encourages girls\, teens and women to participate in physical activity. \nLiz’s work experience includes leading KidSport Edmonton\, the second largest chapter of 166 KidSport chapters\, as Executive Director. KidSport aims to ensure all kids get to play the sport of their choice by providing grants to families who require financial assistance. She was also the Chief Operating Officer of Free Play for Kids\, a large after-school program supporting up to 2\,000 children from highly socially vulnerable schools. \n\n\nOver the past number of months\, Liz has been blending her non-profit and business experience by working on an initiative to support Indigenous students interested in business education and how best to support them while attending post-secondary institutions.In her free time\, Liz likes to hang out with her family\, which includes her spouse Jeremy\, kids Addy and Kellan\, and Ruby\, the laziest golden labrador in Edmonton. She also likes to read\, listen to podcasts and remain active by pursuing outdoor activities. \n\n\nYour Speaker\, Margo Schulte Long\nMargo is the President and CEO of Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS) in Edmonton\, which provides immediate and low-barrier shelter\, temporary housing\, and individualized wraparound support for youth ages 15-24. With a background in Anthropology\, and Business and Marketing Strategy\, Margo came to the non-profit world in 2017\, taking the helm of her beloved community agencies. Margo lives in Edmonton with her husband and a blended family of five children. She is an avid river lover and paints when she can.\n\n\n\nMeet Shae MacPherson\, Your Moderator\nShae is a dedicated and passionate professional with over 20 years of experience in private business. Shae has had the privilege of supporting and leading in all areas of business – operations\, finance\, marketing\, human resources and strategic planning.  Her diversified experience and commitment to building healthy powerful teams are what drives her to not only create practical strategic plans with team alignment but to integrate them effectively as well.  We are lucky to have Shae as one of our Executive Directors\, as well! Shae is skilled at facilitation and is genuinely dedicated to helping others reach their leadership potential.
