It's Official...
Velocity Web Design has been launched! One of my easiest 'babies' to birth, my new business is well on its way through childhood and growing like crazy. I have been designing websites for years for friends and non-profit organizations I have volunteered for, so why not get paid for it? I love the design aspect and am busy already with two new clients, D&R Engineering and Wild Deuce Retreats & Outfitting.

ICAN Conference
For those of you who were unable to be there... we all had an awesome time last weekend at ICAN's 25 anniversary conference in Syracuse, New York! To meet all of the former presidents, and spend time with our current and upcoming presidents was an incredible experience. The passion that brought them to ICAN was so apparent and spending so much time with them over the several days we were together was incredibly empowering.
To further enrich the experience, Nancy Wainer, Henci Goer and Mardsen Wagner where also there. Each has had an incredible impact on ICAN in their own right with Nancy's impact on the founding of ICAN, Henci's research wisdom supporting women informationally, and Marsden's role not only with WHO's birth guidelines, but his unflagging pursuit of returning normal birth to women. And that was only the tip of the iceberg, Dr. Mark Langdon brought his wealth of knowledge surrounding VBAMC safety, Gretchen Humphries made everyone cry as she showed the reality of cesarean surgery and... well lets just say every single speaker brought great wisdom to impart on each of us there.
All of that made my contribution pale in comparison... the signing of the affiliation agreement I wrote, with the help of so many, for ICAN's first official affiliate - ICAN Canada! As International Director for ICAN International, I am very proud of this accomplishment for ICAN and am excited about the future growth of ICAN beyond North America. As ICAN Canada president, I am extremely proud of the continued expansion of ICAN Chapters across Canada, bringing much needed support to women in their communities.
I truly cannot wait to spend more time with the board at our upcoming Strategic Planning Retreat and our next conference!
