AE Luncheon

Since 1984 the outstanding achievements of Canada's finest organizations have been recognized through the presentation of the Canada Awards for Excellence (CAE). Join us for the 26th Annual CAE Luncheon as we celebrate the accomplishments of the recipients for 2010.



CAE LUNCHEON KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Scott Kress
President, Summit Training and Frontier Team Building



Summiting Mount Everest is a notable accomplishment at any time. But in May 2008, an Olympics in China brought military blockades, arrests, deportations and chaos to Everest. Scott Kress witnessed first-hand how teamwork, the ability to embrace change, and leadership were critical in an overcoming unexpected obstacles.

Scott's gripping presentation will show you how and why he became the 51st Canadian to summit Mount Everest and how the skills that his team excelled in are essential in finding success in business.
