Join REAP for an inspiring evening that showcases what it means to be an Awakened Company.
This event is for social entrepreneurs and business leaders of all industries who are looking to take the next step in their sustainability journey. Come to network and support your fellow Albertans who are working hard to launch and/or grow their business, shape our local community and make a positive impact for people and the planet.
Catherine Bell, author of The Awakened Company and Founder of BluEra, will make the business case for an awakened approach and a new economic model.
