I enjoyed the panel immensely– the Body Shop human traficking program will win a Nobel Prize one day. All public relations programs should have such a visonary as Anita Rodick behind them. The Body Shops reputaion chief, Shelley Simmons brought such passion to the subject. We are all humbled by the humanity of this effort.
And Jacquie Ryan of the Royal Bank certainly showed us all why Canada is in many ways the role model for national spirit. The Olympic torch run showcased all that is worthy in the Olympic movement. The RBC showed marketing brilliance by getting out ahead of all their Olympic sponsor competition. Jacquie also fully graspes the concept of grass roots marketing. I learned much from thsi session. Thanks to Judy Lewis for being such a wonderful chair for thsi panel. She knows how to being out the best in her guests. Peter Morrissey
