We are delighted to announce that Jessica Cranmer will be joining the WRLA team in May as the Trade Show and Events Manager. Jessica will be working towards developing and improving the Buying Show, and many other member events.
With more that fifteen years of experience in event management and community relations, Jessica is excited to join the WRLA team.
Jessica has served as an event specialist at some of the top charities in Manitoba, such as Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Manitoba Opera and most recently the Victoria General Hospital Foundation. She brings with her extensive event expertise in building creative and profitable events from the ground up using her skills in event planning, stakeholder management, logistical coordination and strategic alignment. She strives to ensure all events engage, entertain and inform their audience while meeting organizational strategic and business goals.
In her spare time Jessica serves as the Assistant Race Director, Financial Officer and Logistics Coordinator for the annual WFPS Run, the second largest half marathon event in Manitoba, entering its seventh sell-out year. In addition, she serves as a volunteer Board Member for SISTARS (Sisters Initiating Steps Towards a Renewed Society) which serves the area of Point Douglas Manitoba through the management and preservation of the historic Red River style home, Barber House and the management of Eagle Wing Child Care Centre.
She is currently working towards her Applied Project Management Certificate through the University of Winnipeg’s Professional, Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) program with expected completion in 2019.
When she’s not volunteering, working or catching up on school work Jessica loves to travel, enjoys running and walking her (very) large dog, Cosmo.
