“Anne has an entrepreneurial spirit that shines through everything she does. We worked side-by-side in our professional association, where her pragmatism and hard work shone through. But it has been in the years since that I have really come to admire her ability to start and nurture initiatives, sometimes under very trying circumstances. She is driven by passion for the projects she undertakes.”
