I am excited to be part of the P.A.G Coach community that Family Enterprise Canada has launched. Since 1996, I have had the opportunity and privilege to be in a Personal Advisory Group. My P.A.G experience has been invaluable to me on so many levels. I am humbled to be welcomed into your P.A.G to share and learn together, enhancing the value of this program. I look forward to supporting your P.A.G experience.
