Honorable judges, distinguished guests, fellow candidates, ladies and gentlemen,I’m so lucky not to have just one sponsor, but many business leaders under one common umbrella. I’m proud to announce that my sponsor is none other than the “Kelowna Business Ambassadors.”

The Kelowna Business Ambassadors not only grow themselves, but help other businesses expand; pursue their goals and their dreams. All sorts of people are able to join this group! Whether you’re a local or even from a national firm, you’re accepted!

What I found very impressive is that they don’t view people as strangers; they view them as friends you just haven’t met yet. The Kelowna Business Ambassadors have contributed to Kelowna’s massive and on-going growth.

They help the community connect and grow by establishing new businesses that we use everyday all the way from reflexology to simple bed and breakfasts!

Helping people grow from cheque writers, to the ones who build the products, from entrepreneurs to executives, and from traders to trades people!

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know and the Kelowna Business Ambassadors are the people to know!
