A 4-year move to Ottawa in 1974 to run a national public-policy organization led to an Ivey MBA and then a 40-year business career, first with McKinsey, then venture capital, and finally as a manufacturing entrepreneur. Now I can indulge my keen interests in politics, history, reading, and building dry-stacked stone walls in this wonderful Island community. https://www.saltspringforum.com/youth daily 0.75 2024-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/599d11a1914e6b69f1609b95/1519698236453-OVYW838M740JHQ90XG8L/Volunteers+-+Oct.+13+2017+-+Photos+by+Tamaki+Yoshihara.jpg Youth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/599d11a1914e6b69f1609b95/ec351c33-ba09-48f3-b738-aae10ce85c9f/salty.jpg.jpg Youth - Make it stand out Lauren Shea (second from left) during her fundraising row across the Atlantic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/599d11a1914e6b69f1609b95/a524b3bd-0e49-49a3-b96b-e75f24b91192/IMG_7965.jpg Youth - Make it stand out Lauren Shea addressing GISS students in February 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/599d11a1914e6b69f1609b95/26992c95-110e-46aa-89a7-2d2384957b54/IMG_2010.jpeg Youth - Make it stand out DR.
