After 32 years of service in the I.T. field, I realized that I'd been asked about one topic repeatedly... backups!
I've always believed in giving back and have been an active member of our church... I chair the I.T. Committee - big surprise, right? As well, I've volunteered at the local Food Pantry sorting food. This time, though, I wanted to give back to my local community of Newmarket.
In January I approached my friend, Maureen Burleson of The Montana Group, who sports 30 years of bookkeeping experience along with being a QuickBooks© ProAdvisor and tested the waters. "Hey Maureen, I was wondering if you'd be interested in running a seminar with me? I'd like to give back to local businesses, especially those just starting out." Well, that's all it took. In short order Maurren had pulled in her friend, Donna Harwood of The Office Tutor. Donna's a Microsoft Certified Office Specialist Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. There we had it... the 3 amigos.
Within two months we had "You Don't Know What You Don't Know" setup at www.ydkwydk.ca... the concept, logo, website and most importantly, the organization we were going to support: The Women's Centre of York Region to which we're donating 10% of our net proceeds.
Come join us on Thu., May 10, 2012 for a full day experiential seminar:
