The Tao of Everest

Incoming Vancouver Chapter President Kathryn Moes, CAP, has exciting news for you in the Summer Supplement (which will be published following our Education Forum and Annual Meeting). In the meantime, Kathy has asked me to let all of you know that she has secured Ian Woodall, mountaineer extraordinaire, to deliver our keynote speech on November 17, 2010. Ian will present The Tao of Everest - a riveting look at his determination to return to Mt. Everest to honour a promise made to another mountaineer. 

While Ian is in Vancouver from November 13th - 19th, he would like to secure additional dates to share his insights. If your company or other associations are interested in booking Ian, please check his website for more information. And please spread the word to your family, friends and other professional associations. We not only want to make Ian's trip worthwhile, we also want to show our appreciation for his generosity.

You may contact Ian by email at ian@ianwoodall.com, through his website, or by phone: 011-376-360-591. Otherwise, Kathy would be happy to work with you to engage Ian.
