Speedpro Signs Joanne RustonWe have a new celebrity in our group!  Joanne Ruston is a winner of the prestigious "Leaders of Tomorrow" award run annually from the Business in Calgary Magazine. Joanne was one of 20 companies this year that was honored with this award.  The magazine article explaining the award has these highlights:
  • 2009 was a record for nominees
  • In evaluating the nominees, points were awarded for business achievement, community involvement and contributions to their industry.
  • The judges were insistent that their theme of integrity be present in every aspect of the nominees profile. 

My favorite quote from the judges is "the nominees passion and pride are being honored because starting a business is one of life's biggest challenges and the winners have the passion and drive to succeed."

Leaders of Tomorrow
Honouring Calgary's Visionary Entrepreneurs & Business Leaders
By Derek Sankey

One of the qualities of any good leader is the ability to clearly see an opportunity where others do not and to seize it. When others doubt and flounder, great leaders persevere. This year's list of Business in Calgary's 2009 Leaders of Tomorrow may all have slightly different leadership styles, but they execute their objectives with integrity and act as role models to aspiring young entrepreneurs. They are not just bosses or managers or business owners, they are true leaders.

"They demonstrate a passion for the industry that they are in and a desire to be the best they can be," says Dan Doherty of D3 Strategies Inc. and MacLeod Bros. As one of the judges for this year's Leaders of Tomorrow, he had the difficult task of sorting through a long list of nominees that demonstrated strong ethical leadership in their own ways.

Those who were selected stood out not only for their incredible business success, but for their ongoing contribution to building Calgary's communities and making them stronger through their actions. "After we determined that indeed their business model was successful, their active participation in the community was the primary criteria that separated the Leaders of Tomorrow from the others," says Doherty, who joined Michelle O'Brien-Moran of Meyers Norris Penny and Mike Carlin of BMO Bank of Montreal as judges.
