		<description>I can’t believe how quickly time goes!  After several years as a full time HR Generalist I decided, after the birth of my second child, to become a full time mom.  As the years progressed along with my children’s schedules,  I found I was left with more time in the day to pursue other interests.  An amazing opportunity came along to join McNak on a full time basis.  With the support of my family, I accepted.  From the get go Sarah and Cheryl always supported my dual role.  If my children needed me, if there was a volley ball or basket ball game I was not only given the time to go but encouraged to.

However, as life is forever evolving I found after 2 years of full time employment, that my children – teenagers in high school and college – schedules’ had changed once again.   I felt (as most mothers) the need and desire to adjust my schedule to give them the support and time that so many teens need.  Once again, both Sarah and Cheryl supported my decision to step down from my full time role.  After a short departure from McNak I returned – this time to a part time role created by Sarah and Cheryl around me and my family!

Sarah and Cheryl have allowed me the flexibility to once again go back to the ‘drop off’ and ‘pick up’ each day, to attend out of town games or just to ensure that I am available to be able to attend to the needs of ‘teenagers’.

McNak is by far the most progressive company in recognizing the demands and pressures on working moms!  They fully embrace work/life balance for ALL their staff but as working moms themselves, they have made McNak an amazing place to work for moms who want it all!</description>

		<description>A friend of mine attended a recent Vancouver event and found it excellent for networking and the workshop very valuable.  

Currently I'm home with my children after 15 years as a marketing and event planning professional.  I am investigating a variety of possible business opportunities and would love to find out more about how to be part of something like this/invite others to be a part of this.

Any information you can share is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Nance Williams Jonkman
