Bio
Lois Graveline
As a self-employed business person who understands how critically important a business reputation is, I have leaned to apply a high standard to the business relationships I undertake. Jo Riding has consistently risen to the challenge by being an exemplary leader, an innovator and someone who knows no bounds when it comes to challenging the norms. As a women in a leadership role with Karma Creative Solutions and with the Canadian Tulip Festival, she possesses a high degree of self-awareness, humility and immediately garners credibility amongst her staff and the people she partners with. I also appreciate how adept she is at conflict resolution and how she applies an impressive degree of critical thinking when the occasion warrants. She is a joy to work with and I deeply respect her and love knowing that I have a front-row seat to her greatness as she takes on one successful initiative after another.
