Thank you to everyone who came out today to celebrate the life of our founder, Shirley Tillett. A Scholarship Fund for Event Professionals has been started through @mtec_college in honour of Shirley so that everyone can contribute to her legacy. Special thanks to EPM members for their support during this time, @freemanavcanada @rbcconvctrewpg @allimaefresh @belayrerentals @glowbrian With deep sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of our founder, Shirley Tillett on Saturday, August 12, 2017. She left us peacefully while in palliative care with her sister by her side. Shirley flourished as a business leader in Winnipeg founding, Shirley Tillett & Associates, (STA) the Event Professionals of Manitoba Association, (EPM) and the nationally recognized Event Certification Curriculum and facilitator for Manitoba Tourism and Education Council (MTEC). Her spirit was fierce and her drive was never matched. This is her legacy and she will be truly missed. We love you Shirley. Please join us for a celebration of her life this Thursday, August 17th, at 2:00pm at The Metropolitan Centre - @themetwpg In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shirley Tillett Scholarship Fund for Event Professionals hosted by @mtec_college You know you love your line of work when you check out venues while you're on vacation... #events #outdoorevents #kenora #ontariotourism A huge thank-you to the @theforkswinnipeg for hosting us this morning in your amazing new space!
