We’ve got change. In fact, there is a great deal of change going on at AHA right now. We are refreshing our brand, our vision, our approach to business and our website.
Bridging Two Worlds, the service (and the blog) that we offered in partnership with QUAY Strategies is wrapping up – since QUAY is closing and the two partners, Patsy and Della, are off to new chapters in their professional lives.

Kia Ora. (That’s a “hi” from me from New Zealand.)
It’s June 9 here and I am about to go to my first day of blogging at TRENZ in New Zealand for Tourism New Zealand. But before I do that, Della and I are speaking at the Canadian Public Relations On The Edge Conference in Vancouver.
Confused?…
Della will physically be at the CPRS conference and I will be “beaming” in via the Internet. We’re using WebEx for our PowerPoint (with live streaming video of me showing on the side of the screen), Read more
