Vanessa Shelley
Vice President - Jelcore Enterprises Inc.
I came to the Board of Trade 8 years ago, because a friend of mine recommended I come with her to an event. I was looking to expand my social circle and my professional circle and thought it would be a great place to start. I was so happy to see a lot of friendly welcoming faces and I realized they were interested in getting to know me as a person, not just my business. Not only did I make many meaningful connections and friendship through those events but I also acquired some of my best clients ( through member referrals) and I also met my husband there!
If you are looking to expand your circle personally and professionally the board of trade is an excellent place to start. I believe in it so much I am now on the board of directors there, which continues to open doors of possibility for me.
I highly recommend it to anyone!

The amount of education that is available to us is second to none. I have been connected to many via The Ajax Pickering Board of Trade. Being a Past President and Chair was a very valuable experience. Giving back to your community means a lot to me.

Becoming a member of APBT, was one of the best decisions, that i have made as a woman and as a business owner.
The staff and other members, make you feel like you belong to their small family.
There is encouragement, recognition, support, information, research, anything that i may be in need of, i can go to them, and they go out of their way to assist. Their connections and contacts are an asset to each and every one of us. THANK YOU guys, for always being there for our business community.
