Pamela Chatry’s Woman in the Spotlight Dinners are top notch. I appreciate Pamela’s ability to gather a professional group of like-minded business women who are all interested in connecting, learning and growing. Her speakers are powerful and they provide a wonderful blend of real-world business insights with personal heartfelt stories that every woman in business can relate to. It’s nice to know there is a community of high-caliber women to connect with in Vancouver.

You are doing an amazing job with the Women in the Spotlight dinners. It’s networking without really feeling like you are networking because all of the women are engaged in participating. Everyone is made to feel welcome. On top of everything else, the speakers stories are inspirational. You leave feeling that you are not alone. Other women are going through or have gone through similar experiences. I will definitely continue to come.

    Feature Speaker Lori Joyce

    Lori Joyce is an innovative marketer and has over twenty years experience creating, managing and growing brands. In 2002, Lori co-founded Cupcakes with her best friend Heather White. Lori was responsible for developing the Cupcakes Franchise and growing it into a national 10-location chain. In 2010, Lori also became the co-executive producer and co-star in the Gemini-award winning reality TV show, The Cupcake Girls. The television show aired for three seasons and was broadcast in 95 countries. 

    Today, Lori Joyce is focused on building her latest product venture, Betterwith Ice Cream. No compromise and all purpose, Betterwith Ice Cream stands for honest, transparent and better ice cream. The brand vision for Betterwith is to become tomorrow’s food company, and one day, Betterwith will diversify beyond ice cream into a variety of food product categories where there is opportunity to do better.

    For Lori, it really comes down to enjoying Betterwith Ice Cream with her 2 young boys, Maxi (7) and Lex (5). And it’s more than dessert for Lori. It’s about sitting around a table and listening and sharing and appreciating. As Lori always simply says  ‘It all comes down to this.’

    Ivana MisciPlus Spotlight Speaker Ivana Misci

    As a fearless leader, nothing holds Ivana back once she sets her heart on it. Her analytic eye and ceaseless curiosity fuels her desire to do things a new way when designing marketing strategies.

    Her expert repertoire ranges from traditional collateral and print culture to the latest in digital and search marketing. Whatever Ivana pursues, she does it with Passion balanced with Practicality. Call it . . . Type P.

    After completing her executive industry MBA from Stanford, Ivana created marketing solutions for big name corporations such as Electronic Arts and Telus. Fourteen years ago Ivana decided it was time to do things her own way – take all that big-league strategic experience and mix it up to create distinct marketing. That’s when Mint Marketing Works was born and there hasn’t been a dull moment since.

    Ivana’s spirited enthusiasm flows to all aspects of life. On weekends you’ll find her ocean kayaking, mountain biking and trail running with her dog Luna.

    On your mark, get set, go marketing!

My 17-year-old daughter was absolutely stunned at the quality of the speakers at your recent Women in the Spotlight event. She was over the moon with excitement when she got home, and has continued to refer to this evening almost daily since, as well as quoting stories and experiences that were told. She has begun to position herself to aspire to become an inspiration to others. Thank you so much Pamela for organizing such a successful and impactful event!!
