Lorraine has 30 years of experience in marketing & logistics and has both owned her own companies and worked for notable companies in both Canada and the USA, where she has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic thinking skills.  She has also focused specifically for the past 6 years working with non profits in both British Columbia and Alberta to assist in direct mail programs which bring awareness of their data, print and mail in their campaign development and retention plus acquisition of new donors and bring ongoing awareness of the non profits achievements and new goals within their communities.
