Great Feedback from Amazing People!

From Robert Sutton:

As a local volunteer with the Canada-wide Samara Centre for Democracy (www.samaracanada.com), I commend Ms. Cole and all the participants in initiating this remarkable and practical project! When local citizens organize and reach out to other citizens to engage directly in their democracy, the potential to sustain it increases dramatically...and you obviously realize this.
I just wanted to offer accolades for your action. There are many who will say someone should do something but rarely describe the something or become the someone. The Collective team has clearly defined the something, become the someone, and as a local community member I am so very grateful for your vision and creativity. THANK YOU!!

Lambton Conference - Deb Crowe

I had the pleasure of attending The Jean Collective, a Women in Politics Group conference in Wyoming yesterday. An excellent event put on by Helen Cole, and included an impressive line up of speakers and panelists. This isn't just for those with political ambitions - this is for women leaders

Lambton Conference - Dawn Marie Bradley

This weekend, I had the absolute honour of emcee’ing Lambton County’s first Women in Leadership conference…and what a wonderful day it was! You could feel the energy of the room before your feet even hit the inside of the building…and it just got better as the day progressed! It was such a great day
