A SURPRISE AWARD FOR AN ARTICLE
     Writing articles in industry trade magazines and being offered a column was a great opportunity to share what I'm passionate about. 
​     You can imagine my surprise at being awarded the Kenneth R. Wilson Memorial Award for "Best Merchandising/ Marketing Article" by Southam Publishing in Toronto.  
      As a result of writing in this magazine, other publishers picked up articles and republished them in their trade journals which resulted in clients across Canada and in the US.
