We were privileged to hear from one of our newer members, Brian Blanchard. Brian was sponsored by Jerry Pasman.
Brian grew up in the Bonnyville area and always took pride in whatever job he had. He felt it important to take a vested interest in what he did, showing integrity and how he valued the learning opportunity. Brian spoke of the importance of having a positive mindset, no matter what the job was, and being proud of what was accomplished. He was fortunate that a mentor saw the potential in him, and was willing to help to provide an opportunity for Brian to begin training in the area of business management. This provided him with skills and attitudes that have stood him in good stead over the years.
Brian is a Licensed Insolvency Trustee, managing a full service company that supports those seeking financial freedom. He views his role as helping to solve problems for others by creating solutions filled with hope for a more positive future. Brian feels that the principles of his practice reflect the Rotary 4 Way test. Both focus on making decisions that are fair to all participants, and require public confidence that all are treated with respect.
Brian has 2 daughters that enjoy activities in which they can serve others He enjoys old cars, bikes and opportunities to connect with others. We are pleased to have you join Rotary, Brian, as you clearly demonstrate your commitment to Service Above Self.
