Marnie Walker, Is the Grass Always Greener?

“I can’t give back to everyone who helped me, but I can give back to those who are striving to succeed and follow their dreams”, says Ms. Walker. Ms. Walker is a Dean’s list York University MBA graduate who single handedly build a multi million-dollar school bus company. Student Express grew from $240,000 revenue, 9 buses in 1990 to over $10,000,000 and 250 buses today.

Ms. Walker is a frequent speaker at business functions, her “lessons learned” insight is her focus. “Marnie gave an excellent insight into the entrepreneurial characteristics one should look at before starting your own business” said one guest. Ms. Walker encouraged the room to “use your own experiences as the foundation for your future, build on the skill, the connection and the energy”.

CAWEE members share their unique world of energy, expertise, ideas and experience at events like these throughout the year.

“Broaden your Perspective” is the vision of the associations’ members, who come together collectively to share their stories and grow through their associations. Personal and professional development begins with effective networking and marketing. Because women operate differently in the business world, they need to establish trust in themselves and in their network of contacts. To make this happen, CAWEE encourages businesswomen to connect with each other to gain new insights and build long-term relationships. Membership in CAWEE offers different perspectives, different educational opportunities, different networking events and different approaches to expanding the world within you.

CAWEE Gala events are constantly promoted on our website. Please visit www.cawee.net for upcoming information on evening events, Breakfast Club, Lunch n’ Learn Series and Cocktail Networking Meetings.
