• Gender Discrimination – both sexes guilty

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Both sexes are guilty of gender discrimination

Confession:

I admit it. I’m not your typical CEO. I’m a woman, I’m in my mid thirties and I live in a town that’s known for its “Old Boys Club”.

This was brought home to me early in my career when I went to our local business club for lunch, one of those traditional gentlemen’s clubs that now accepts women as members. I walked in with my dad, a regular there, and followed his lead to a long communal table in the middle of the room, clearly marked, “Nooners”.

Mandy Farmer plays in the mud at Power to play 2010

Now why on earth did we do this?.......read more

Power to play 2010 Accent Inn Dusters

Several months ago Mandy Farmer, the President of Accent Inns put the word out that she was looking for volunteers to participate in the Power to Play adventure race. The race is in support of the great work done by the Power to Be organization with challenges designed by Anthony Bishop who also designs for the TV shows Survivor and the Amazing race. Always having community spirit and a sense of adventure it didn’t take long for several volunteers to come forth from the Head office staff and so was born the Accent Inn “Dusters”. The intrepid volunteers (or sacrifices depending on your perspective) were Dave Splawski, Chris Knight, John Espley and our “fearless leader” Mandy Farmer.

Lupita & Canuck in Business Class

I am writing this from Canada where I have returned safe and sound – well maybe not quite sound. I picked up a stomach bug at the end of the trip and so the last few days weren’t that much fun. However, the doctor in Hong Kong gave me the right drugs and I am now back to 100% (or as close as a duck can come to 100%). (.....more on Canuck Ducks epic adventure)

Vancouver International Song Institute and Accent Inns

Again this year Accent Inns is collaborating with the Vancouver International Song Institute in mounting the annual Institute event June 4 – 23, 2010 at the UBC School of Music.

The Vancouver International Song Institute is a hard beast to explain – and many wonder where it is? What’s its address? The Vancouver International Song Institute – VISI – isn’t a place, it’s an event. It includes a training program for voice students and collaborative pianists, a series of lectures and workshops for voice and piano teachers to learn to improve their teaching. It also includes lectures and singing workshops for the general public and a series of public concerts. ....more about VISI
