"The Co-operative Managers' Association held its 50th Annual Conference recently at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. We were privileged to have Joan McCusker as the closing speaker. Speaking to an audience of 175 persons, Joan provided an entertaining and inspirational presentation on "Characteristics of Successful People. Joan uses herself as an example of personal growth from small town Saskatchewan to becoming an Olympic champion. Her presentation was fast paced, humourous and uses many anecdotes of life as an Olympian. Her presentation was followed by a lively question and answer session that she handled extremely well. Following in her presentation she displayed her curling wardrobe and Olympic Gold Medal which was modeled and photographed by many in the audience. Audience evaluation of her talk indicated 90% felt it exceeded their expectations with comments such as 'excellent choice, wow! Awesome, and Fantastic'. We do not hesitate in endorsing Joan as an excellent and stimulating speaker". Co-operative Managers' Association
