Martin
Weathering the Storm – Charting a
Course for Success is the theme for this year’s annual business
day conference. Organizers are ecstatic that the keynote speaker will
be Paul Martin, federal minister of finance. Over the past 37 years,
the graduating business class has worked hard to organize this annual
conference that showcases some of the nation’s top business leaders
and visionaries as they share their insight on current business issues.
“Business Day is a professional conference that provides the
opportunity for business leaders, students, and faculty members to
interact and discuss relevant issues,” said Katherine Young,
one of the event’s organizers. “We’re pleased to offer
delegates a range of interesting and informative speakers. Some of
our speakers are entrepreneurs who have seized market opportunities
with new technology while others have been directly involved in planning
business strategy. Their valuable insight will assist the participants
in future endeavors.”
This year’s conference will take place on Friday, Feb. 22, at
the Fairmont Newfoundland. Other confirmed speakers include Glenn
Stanford, vice-president of hockey operations for the St. John’s
Maple Leafs and General Manager of St. John’s Sports and Entertainment
