Congratulations Robyn. You are so deserving of this award. Few people put as much heart and mind into their work as you -- your clients and colleagues are very fortunate.
But, what's with the "senior communicator" -- those are the professionals we met when we first came to Ottawa 15+ years ago. Aren't we still the newbies?!

I'm glad to see that all those 911 calls from the CCC Executive Director to come up with new concepts and no timelines to do it work out !!!! I remember your first cold call as if it was yesterday and how you communicate clearly ,with conviction and determination what you could bring to my organization and more important how you made me want to work with your organization. Throught respect and cooperation we achieved a lot but our biggest success was the friendship we develop.Robyn CONGRATULATION, BRAVO , FELICITATION to you and your great team. Miss all the fun (for me anyway) of working with the gang. Drinks on me next time I'm in town. Best to you all from the land of the Blue Nose .
P. S.Now I know why you called it BluePrint your a Bluenoser. Cheers Jacques
