One of the first tasks of the new chapter President Dr. Serge Lanoue was to give the Notable Networker Award to Balbir Pabila, who has invited the most visitors in the past 6 months.
Balbir's unrelenting pursuit of inviting visitors to our chapter stems from her involvement in many different business networking groups where she promotes her products and services as an independent Arbonne consultant. She leverages her contacts in these groups to find business owners in Mississauga and Brampton who are interested in growing their business through referrals.
Cheering Balbir on in the background is the new Secretary-Treasurer Krishna Menon.
